West Covina Buddhist Temple Obon (Sat Only)
West Covina Buddhist Temples Obon Festival
Celebration of memories of our ancestors. Enjoy traditional japanese food, exhibits, games and demonstration.. All starting at 2pm. Then everyone join in for bon dancing starting at 6pm. Please join us for a day full of Japanese culture, cuisine and of course, the exciting and spiritually meaningful Obon Odori Dancing.
Time
Festival hours: 2 pm - 9:00 pm
7:30 pm: Bon Odori dancing
Bon Odori Practice
WCBT also offers free Bon Odori dance instruction to the public. If the Bon Odori dancing is the highlight of the Obon, it is because, as a kind of celebratory 'group dance,' it symbolizes the world of oneness that is the goal of the Buddhist teaching. And, though it is certainly not mandatory, the public is invited to learn the specific moves of each dance at one of the free public dance instruction practices. This year, they are offered from 7 pm to 8:30 pm every Tuesday and Friday leading up to the Obon. Check web site for actual dates.
