Japan Festival Meetup 🇯🇵

Join International Friends Houston as we explore Japan Festival Houston, one of Houston’s largest celebrations of Japanese culture! We’ll enjoy authentic food, cultural performances, shopping, exhibits, and great conversation while meeting new friends from around the world.

📅 Meet: Saturday at 11:00 AM 📍 Meeting Point: Sam Houston Monument at the main entrance to Hermann Park. We’ll gather until about 11:15 AM before walking into the festival together.

Whether you’re new to Houston, an expat, an international student, or a longtime local, everyone is welcome. Solo attendees are especially encouraged to join—we’ll make introductions so no one feels left out.

Please RSVP if you plan to attend so we know who to expect. Food, drinks, and shopping are optional but encouraged to support the vendors and organizations that make events like this possible.

We look forward to meeting you and exploring the festival together!
