There is no Family Service held on the day after our Bon Dance. Instead, volunteers will gather at 8 am to dismantle and store the yagura.

Anyone who wants to helps, please come by, as the more hands there are, the faster it goes! Disassembly usually takes about two hours.

SAVE THE DATE! Mark your calendars for Windward Buddhist Temple’s Bon Dance, a night of ono food, our famous andagi, and dancing around our uniquely decorated yagura.

In preparation for our Bon Dance on July 13, the yagura (musician’s stand) is constructed. How can you help? Just bring yourself, friends, and family that can be a part of the working crew. (Preferably, older teens and above in age – this is not child’s play.) You’ll be carrying lumber and other items, assisting by holding things in place and/or working to secure the parts of the yagura that fit together.
