The Gardena Valley Japanese Cultural Institute has an annual fundraiser, a two-day matsuri held at the end of June every year.  Beginning at noon on both Saturday and Sunday, the GVJCI Matsuri has much to offer by way of food, games, entertainment, and cultural demonstrations. 

​Organizations and individuals who use the GVJCI facilities throughout the year support the GVJCI by running the game and food booths.  The delicious food dishes include udon, somen, chicken and beef teriyaki, yakisoba, imagawayaki, chili hot dogs and rice, tamales, spam musubi, lau lau, shaved ice, and Okinawan andagi.  In addition, supporting nurseries and produce businesses generously donate fresh vegetables, fruits, and beautiful plants for the produce market booth. 

Saturday, 06/24/17 - 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Sunday, 06/25/17 - 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
