About the Festival:
The Festival is formulated around Unity, Promotion and Preservation (UPP!) to secure, maintain and support SJ Japantown as one of the last three remaining historical Japantowns in the USA (San Francisco, LA, and San Jose). We are inviting everyone who wants to join and including our businesses and organizations in Japantown. The host organization for the Festival is the Japantown Community Congress of San Jose (JCCsj) a non-profit 501c(3) organization.. The Festival is a separate committee which reports to the Board of Directors. JDM THEORY will be hosting their popular J’s Gathering Car show.

Some of our festival sponsors currently include: Gordon Biersch Brewery, Takara Sake, Chateau Marie Antoinette. the SJPD Police Officers Association, AF Evans, Miraido Village, Valley Transit Authority, San Jose Redevelopment Agency, San Jose Mercury News, Southwest Airlines and more.

Some of our local 'talent' are newscasters Mike Inouye (NBC 11) and Robert Handa (KTVU) who will be donating their time to help emcee parts of the day.

We will have a Main Stage on Fifth Street and a Children's Activity Zone off Fifth as well.
We are working with FanimeCon (the largest anime convention in Northern California) for their participation in anime screenings and possibly some COSPLAY too!

We have the Raiderettes coming already, the SJ Fire Dept education unit, many martial arts demonstrations, the food stars of the Gilroy Garlic Festival, an autograph booth, VIP tent for sponsors, Silent Auction on Jackson Street, Ikebana Exhibition on Sixth Street in Miraido village, Donation drawing (prizes include trips for 4 with Southwest Airlines, cash prizes of $1000 and $500) and Chinese Historical and Cultural Project exhibits, Nisei Veterans exhibit and again, there's more!

All paid and ready to go!! Can't wait!!

 

I'd love to be able to go to this one, especially since it's like 4 minutes from my house! But there's already a guy on vacation at work and I'm trying to see if I can get out for a couple hours for Sili-con that weekend.

Might be able to hit it up for a little tiny bit and hang out with some of my Scikotics family, if I'm lucky.

Have fun for me if I can't make it!

 

Man I wanna GOOOOOooooooooooooo....**sad face**

Paid and Cant Wait as Welll! I will showing the car with all my new mods! So excited

 

Woohoo I'm paid and can't wait to go! This will be fun fun fun!

 

JR said there no more spots.

 

Hmmm I kinda want to go here... anyone knows if there will be parking or anything there?

 

i think ur gona have to find parking on the street somewhere. or u can just park at sjsu and take the light rail over. i think that would be the safest if ur not showing.

 

^^^ Oh SJSU's parking is open during the weekend?

 

yea there actually are saturday classes, my gf is taking one. lol so the garages are open. and for those who want to park there and do not have a permit u still can it 8 dollars for the entire day.

 

There's some street parking in the area... just gotta show up early and be willing to walk a little. The surrounding neighborhood doesn't seem bad, esp when compared to 6th & Folsom in SF where the previous JDM Theory event was.
