The 15th Annual Aki Matsuri
September 8 & 9, 2012
Co-Sponsored by the Consulate-General of Japan in Bellevue
Bellevue College will again provide the venue for the 15th annual Aki Matsuri to be held on September 8 & 9 this year. The Consulate-General of Japan, a co-sponsor of this Japanese cultural festival since its inception, will again hold the popular “Haiku Contest.” Visitors to the booth will also have the opportunity to experience “Paro,” a robotic baby harp seal. Paro was designed to promote benefits similar to Animal-Assisted Therapy in situations where live animals cannot be used.
