One of the five Go-Sekku seasonal festivals of Japan, Tanabata is traditionally celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh month. The Portland Japanese Garden celebrates Tanabata each year on the Sunday closest to this date.

The 2009 Tanabata Festival will be held at the Portland Japanese Garden on Sunday, July 5 from 1-4pm in the Garden Pavilion. Children will write their wishes on tanzaku (paper strips) and make origami ornaments to hang on bamboo branches-which they may take with them to hang in their doorways at home. Music will also be part of the day, provided by guitarist Toshi Onizuka.
