Craft activities include origami, calligraphy, kamishibai (picture-story show), Mother’s Day card making, and decorative carp making.

Live entertainment will also be included,a tentative Martial Arts performance, and a Japanese dance performance. The final event is a Gala Children’s Fashion Show. All children are encouraged to wear their kimonos, yukata, martial arts uniforms, and other Asian-related costumes so that they can participate in the Fashion Show.
