The annual festival celebrates 12 years from when the boat, (KA MO MAY), was discovered on the shores of Crescent City with a Japanese-themed restaurant week and dozens of free activities for all-ages honoring Crescent City’s connection and Sister City relationship with Rikuzentakata, Japan.
The festival ends with a special Taste of Japan culinary and entertainment experience on Saturday evening, April 12, 2025 with proceeds going to the Kamome Foundation and Del Norte High School’s Japan Club.
