“Matsuri” is the Japanese word for festival. Since 2013, Nikkei Matsuri has been a core fundraising event for Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre (NNMCC), with the proceeds providing critical funding for its cultural, educational, and museum projects and initiatives.
It is a 3-day celebration of Japanese arts and culture through food, music, entertainment, Japanese-style kids games and more. Prior to the pandemic, 14,000+ people to Nikkei Centre to enjoy the many festivities Nikkei Matsuri has to offer.
Nikkei Matsuri is one of the many ways the NNMCC is working to fulfil its mission to honour, preserve, and share Japanese culture and Japanese Canadian history and heritage.
