Niigata Matsuri Folk Dance

Niigata Matsuri returns again this year, including the infamous traditional mass folk dance (min’yo nagashi)! We’re looking for foreign residents to join us in the dance and enjoy Niigata’s tradition. A dance lesson and yukata will be provided for participants! Sizes vary, so if you have your own yukata, please use it. Volunteers will help to put on the yukata, so don’t worry if you don’t know how to put one on. Please wear comfortable shoes that you can dance in, as well as clothes that are easy to change out of for the yukata.
