    A one day festival where kids rule, families have a blast and people can engross themselves in cultural activities, cuisine, arts and entertainment around Japanese culture. The Children’s Day Celebration is JACCC’s signature festival honoring the cultural diversity and children of Southern California. Make your way downtown this May 16th and once in Little Tokyo look up to the skies for the giant multi-colored carp kites billowing in the wind off of the top of the JACCC building. Carp kites are the traditional symbols of Kodomo no Hi (Children’s Day) and signify aspirations for long life, strength and determination to travel upstream, against the river’s current, as carp fish do. Events include taiko drumming workshops, the Chibi-K: Kids Fun Run, a Youth Basketball Tournament and an Asian Pacific Arts & Crafts Fair.
