STOP ASIAN HATE.

​Amidst the rise in violence directed at Asian Americans over the past year, and in the wake of the racialized murders of Asian women in Georgia on March 16th, the Davis Cherry Blossom Festival team expresses grief and calls for all members of our community to help bring about awareness and change.

Davis Cherry Blossom Festival Presents: Tsukimi 

Join us on Saturday, October 16th, 2021 from 12:30pm - 8pm at Sudwerk Brewing Co. (2001 2nd St) for a free community festival celebrating the autumn moon!

Tsukimi is a Japanese mid-autumn, moon-viewing holiday dedicated to wishing and expressing gratitude for a good harvest. 

With taiko performances and lessons, arts and crafts, raffle prizes, mochi pounding, and more, there will be plenty for you to do with friends and family to celebrate community, art, and culture!

This event is sponsored, in part, by City of Davis Arts and Cultural Affairs. 

COVID-19 precausion: Masks are available and required at the event unless consuming food or beverage. Please respectfully maintain physical distance from others as much as possible.
