The San Jose Obon festival is Saturday and Sunday, July 11-12, 2009 in San Jose’s Japantown (the area area near the San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin 640 North 5th Street, San Jose between Jackson and Taylor Streets).
http://www.sjbetsuin.com/ only has last year’s schedule at the moment, but should have a full schedule for this year soon. Besides the Obon Odori (Folk Dancing), expect Taiko and other traditional Japanese music, food booths and other Japanese festival activities.

A number of us plan to go to the Obon Festival after the No-Name Anime meeting on Saturday the 11th (see http://bayanime.com/no-name-anime-club-showing-santa-clara-city-library-11-jul-09/ ). We’ll probably arrive sometime around 6:30, have dinner at the food court and watch the Odori. We may also visit Nikaku Animart. Please join us!
