Fresno Obon Festival 2008 at Japanese Buddhist Temple.
Chinatown
Annual Japanese Buddhist Obon Festival with Dancing in the streets for all ages, drumming groups, food, festivities and positive feelings for ancestors.
2009 was the last Obon Festival to be held at the Japanese Buddhist Temple in Fresno. Sadly, after more than 100 years, the Buddhists are selling the temple and moving from the downtown area. It's Ironic that the festival is held to honor those before you. We will miss our neighbors for sure. Video courtesy kndynt2099 and song is "Umai Uta"
