Children's Day at the Portland Japanese GardenNEW

On May 7 from 1-3pm, the Portland Japanese Garden celebrates Children's Day, Kodomo no Hi, with a variety of children's activities and performances for families, including a Taste of Tea for children in the Garden's Kashintei Tea House, the raising of our brilliantly colored new koi nobori carp banners, the making of paper kabuto helmets and paper koi kites, taiko drumming, and other perennially popular Children's Day activities for the entire family.

This year on Children's Day, the Garden will be celebrating the release of 23 new koi into the Lower Pond in the Strolling Pond Garden. Please join us at 3 p.m. by the Heavenly Falls for a special ceremony to welcome the new koi to their home.

Underwritten in part by the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation.
