There's a lot going on this weekend in Los Angeles' historic Japanese neighborhood, located downtown near the civic center. On Saturday, May 17, it's the 2nd Annual Nikkei Community Day and the San Tai San Youth Basketball Tournament (for boys and girls ages 7-12).
"Nikkei" is the Japanese word for Japanese people living abroad: in other words, Japanese nationals in America and Japanese-Americans. The event will include community information booths, live stage performances and workshops.
"San tai san" means "3 on 3". However, registration for the youth basketball tournament is already closed. More information is available here.
Sunday, May 18, is the 25th Annual Children's Day Celebration. (Children's Day is a national holiday in Japan and is celebrated on May 5.) Activities include a kids' fun run and cultural discovery workshops. An Asian Pacific Arts & Crafts Fair will run both days.
JACCC Plaza, Center Building and San Pedro Street downtown, 10 am to 4 pm, Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free. For more info, click here.
