Star Festival 2026

July 11, 2026 @ 6:00 pm - May 2, 2027 @ 10:00 pm

Tanabata, one of Japan’s most cherished traditions, tells the timeless story of Orihime and
Hikoboshi—two star-crossed lovers separated by the Milky Way, permitted to reunite only once
a year. This enchanting festival is a celebration of love, hope, and the beauty of dreams.

Guests will enjoy:
Evening Entertainment: Performances inspired by Japanese culture and tradition.
Unique Vendors: A marketplace filled with local crafts and cultural treasures.
Food Trucks: A variety of delicious offerings to savor throughout the night.
The evening will capture the spirit of Tanabata, inviting families and friends to come together
under the stars and celebrate a tradition that continues to inspire across generations.

Date: Saturday, July 11, 2026
Time: 6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Cost, General Admission
Celebrate Tanabata with us as we honor the beautiful legend of Orihime and Hikoboshi. Let their
story inspire you to cherish love, nurture hope, and believe in the power of dreams. Throughout
the evening, guests will have the chance to write their own wishes on colorful tanzaku paper
strips and hang them on bamboo, joining in a centuries-old tradition that symbolizes hope,
renewal, and connection beneath the summer night sky.
