Nisei Week Bus Trip - Saturday, August 18th
Our annual trip to Little Tokyo in Los Angeles for the Nisei Week celebration will be on August 18th. The festival was started in 1934 during the depression by second-generation Japanese Americans who wanted to help attract more business to the Little Tokyo area. For an interesting history of Nisei Week, please visit History of Nisei Week.
Our bus will take us to the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center in Little Tokyo where we will enjoy Japanese cultural arts. There are some fun shops around the JACCC where we can dine and find some souvenirs. We will also visit some bonsai nurseries (the specifics will be determined later).
Cost for the bus will be $40 per person. Club members may purchase seats for friends and family. We will leave the Balboa Park staging area at 8:00AM, the Carlsbad staging area at 8:30AM and return to Balboa Park around 8:00PM, assuming traffic cooperates.
You can reserve your seat below or you can pay Abe directly at a club meeting.
