Japanese-Canadian Powell Street Festival returns for 46th year
Mark your calendars, folks: it’s once again time for the annual Powell Street Festival.
The beloved Vancouver street fest celebrating all things Japanese-Canadian is returning this July for its 46th year.
Taking place at Oppenheimer Park and the Paueru Gai (the Powell Street area, and Vancouver’s historical Japanese neighbourhood), this year will be a fully in-person, live event ā something we’ve sorely missed over the last two years.
