Tradition, Fun and Community Awareness. The Bon-Odori New Paltz Dance Festival Event is the only one of it's kind in the Hudson Valley and upstate New York. The traditional Japanese Buddhist Bon-Odori Festival held in August is to observe 'Obon', the ritual of remembering our ancestors and reconnecting with family and friends. In New Paltz we have expanded on this exciting summer event to celebrate peaceful energy, community, culture and the spirit of green living! Additionally, 2017 marks the 72nd anniversary of the end of the second World War, providing communities with an opportunity to reflect on the profound meaning of peaceful living.

Year after year we have a great selection of world class dance & musical performances, Taiko drumming, martial arts demonstrations, Japanese cultural presentations, food vendors, arts & crafts demonstrations and sales, family fun, raffle and exhibitions to step toward green living and nuclear-free thinking.
