4:15 PM- To kick off this event on the main stage, we invite parents and children for our Kiddie Kimono and Yukata Contest. Mommies and daddies, we encourage you to dress up with your kids...there might be a prize for the best ensemble! If you are interested, please e-mail NihonmachiNite@scidpda.org for registration details.
5:00 PM- The Kimochi Band is comprised of 25 seniors ages 62 to 94 years! They are a relatively new band of ukulele students who want to continue playing, develop their skills and have fun. Fun fact: the Kimochi Band loves to wear colorful Hawai'ian attire. They cannot wait to perform for you at Nihonmachi Nite this year!
6:00 PM- One World Taiko joins us for a second year, performing as a Japanese drum ensemble that incorporates dynamic movement, lyrical melodies and rhythmic grooves with heart pounding percussion. Japantown is looking forward to their lively performance!

7:30 PM- Shun Endo of The Liquid Now, singer/songwriter, will be performing original pieces and Japanese songs on guitar. He brings to the stage an upbeat and pop-y set, with a few mellow tunes. "I just want to have fun, and entertain the listeners as best as I can with some upbeat tunes and a little humor". We're excited to have Shun join us at his first Nihonmachi Nite event!
8:00 PM- The night will close out with J-Pop! Come out with your Anime costumes and join us for a dance party on the the main stage with DJ Yu, a Japan native who wants to see everyone out on the dance floor!
