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.
We’re organizing the committee now. We’ll plan together through festival night on January 22.
Tell us what you’d like to shape: activities, games, decorations, food, cultural traditions, signs, logistics, or how families move through the festival.
