Opening Night Party

Get ready to celebrate as we kick off the 2024 Festival with a party at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts following the opening concert by Hiromi and PublicQuartet. Just as they seamlessly weave together genres, this event is set to honor the fantastic fusion of Japanese and American cultures.

Enjoy food stations crafted with a mix of traditional and fusion delights, sip on a variety of beverages while enjoying live music by Kevin Paul that’ll keep the celebration going. We hope you’ll join us to connect with festival friends, both old and new!
