Mark your calendar! Join us for Setsubun, featuring a sacred fire led by Elder Veronica and the Japanese tradition of mamemaki (豆まき) — the fun ritual of throwing roasted soybeans to chase away bad luck and welcome good fortune for the new year. Also, enjoy a delicious meal of Japanese curry rice to keep you warm and connected!
This is a family-friendly event and everyone is invited!!
