Ashland Parks and Recreation will host a celebration of Otsukimi, the Moon Gazing Festival, at the Ashland Japanese Garden from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, September 15, 2024.
This free event celebrates Otsukimi, a Japanese festival honoring the autumn moon. The event will feature the garden beautifully lit up after dusk, Dobra Tea serving Japanese teas, a tea ceremony demonstration and more. Visitors are encouraged to bring a flashlight to help illuminate their departure from the garden as the event will end after dark.
The Ashland Japanese Garden is located in historic Lithia Park up from the Butler Memorial Bandshell on Winburn Way across from the Pickleball Courts. Entry and participation in the event in the Ashland Japanese Garden are free, but your support helps to maintain the garden, allowing it to expand and grow. Donations may be made online or at the garden.
Please visit the Ashland Japanese Garden website, AshlandJapaneseGarden.org, to donate or for more information on the garden. The website includes the history of the garden, information about the generous donations that made this authentic Japanese Garden possible, the designer and more.
