Hosted originally by the Japan-America Society of Houston (JASH, ヒューストン日米協会 Hyūsuton Nichibei Kyōkai) it is now handled by the Japan Festival of Houston Inc under the Japan-America Society of Houston advisement. Typically in the spring of each year, the event can attract nearly 30,000 visitors in a single weekend. While the festival theme changes from year to year, the premise remains the same—to educate the citizens of Houston on the fundamental interests and facts of the land of Japan. The Japan Festival is located in Hermann Park, typically adjacent to the Japanese Garden near downtown Houston. The festival itself was created by volunteers nearly 20 years ago and is still operated by a volunteer staff. In 2009, the festival was awarded the title of "Best Festival" by the Houston Press.[1] The 2016 Japan Festival of Houston will take place April 16th and 17th See also
