Plan Oshogatsu with us!
The committee figures out what the festival will actually look like: which activities return, what new ideas we should try, food, decorations, cultural traditions, room layouts, volunteer jobs, signs, supplies, and all the decisions between ‘we’re having Oshogatsu’ and several hundred people walking through the doors.
Raise your hand now. We’re putting the committee together in September. The full committee will be in place in October, then we’ll plan through festival night on January 22.
Bring the part you want to help shape—activities, food, traditions, signs, logistics, or a new idea we haven’t tried yet.
