For the first time since our inception in 2014, Foyle Obon is expanding from a one day to a week long festival! A Japanese festival of taiko and light, this year sees a whole week of exciting cultural events and workshops, suitable for everyone.
There will be workshops taking place in various venues around Derry Londonderry in taiko drumming, origami, manga art, haiku poetry, Japanese food demos, film, Japanese doll making, a tea ceremony and our finale festival showcase event in the Playtrail on the evening of Saturday 25th, which ends the festival week with a beautiful lantern ceremony as the light fades.
