Midori Kai will perform at the Bowling Green International Festival on Saturday September 30, 9am-6pm.
Our local Japanese community has been a part of the festival from the beginning. Each year representatives lead festival goers in a variety of traditional Japanese dances.
318 artists will perform this year! The Festival features both traditional and innovative, modern fusion groups. Some performers are community members wishing to showcase traditions of their ancestors while others are seasoned performers ready to rock the stages with their unique sounds.
A special thanks to our stage hosts Armin Hasanagic, Robin Sunderland & Katelyn Mason as well as Gary, Eric and the sound crew at Ambush Sound!
