About this Event
According to legend, the Milky Way separates two lovers (represented by the stars Vega and Altair), and they are allowed to meet only once a year. Why not express your Tanabata wish through the Milky Way to the star crossed lovers by making a Temari ball ? Try it out if you are looking for a new hobby or just want to make a beautiful craft. Select from blue, black, or red to personalize your creation.
七夕に願いを込めて、天の川を挟んだ一等星(彦星と織姫)が輝く夜空を手毬で表現してみませんか。手毬を作ってみたい方、針仕事が好きな方、新しい趣味を見つけたい方、様々なきっかけで皆様にお会いできるのを楽しみにしています。
同日は日系ガーデンファーマーズマーケット(10時から2時)と七夕フリーマーケット(10時から3時)も同時開催中!

What is Temari?
Temari (手まり)is a folk craft originating from Japan around 1300 years ago. Traditionally made in the form of "hand balls" given from parents to children on New Year's day. They've become a popular and versatile gift item while remaining a refreshing toy for children to play with.
