The mission of the Nisei Week Foundation is to promote Japanese and Japanese American heritage and traditions, while bringing together the diverse communities of Southern California through arts and cultural education. We accomplish this goal by presenting the Nisei Week Japanese Festival in the City of Los Angeles’ historic Little Tokyo community. Commencing in 1934, this celebrated tradition is currently the longest-running ethnic festival in the United States.
The Nisei Week Japanese Festival’s long-standing theme is, “Celebrating Our Culture & Community.” We are excited to showcase traditional events, as well as introduce new, contemporary attractions. We aspire to share our culture with friends and families of every age, from all communities.
What makes Nisei Week truly extraordinary is the fact that this festival is produced entirely by volunteers. It is through the generous support and dedication of the Board of Directors, committee chairs, sponsors and volunteers that this tradition remains relevant in the Japanese & Japanese American community.
