Taiko drummers performing at Bon Odori festival, Seattle, July 2015
Order an ImageDuring the summer of 1932, the Seattle Buddhist Church held the city's first Bon Odori festival. Bon Odori is a Japanese dance which is part of the observance of Obon, a Buddhist memorial service. The joyful dance, which celebrates the Buddhist tradition of selfless giving, expresses gratitude to departed family members. Over the years, the festival grew to include flower and craft exhibits, food booths and other activities.
