Looking for some local activities in Boston this summer? Visit the Showa campus for some fun, free events for kids and families!
Showa students will organize and run weekly cultural events on Thursdays throughout the summer, beginning July 17.
Visit the Showa website for more information on all of these great events:
Thursday, July 17 3:30 p.m.
Radio Taiso & Suikawari
Move your body the way many in Japan do at 6:30 a.m. with Radio Taiso, or radio calisthenics. Once you’ve warmed up, try splitting a watermelon, a fun summertime tradition in Japan. The traditional game, called suikawari, is typically done at the beach or other summer events, and is much like a pinata.
Thursday, July 24 3:30 p.m.
Tanabata
Stop by and learn about Tanabata, the Star Festival! Create Tanabata arts and crafts and write your own wish to place on a tree. Children can try dressing up in a yukata, a type of kimono. Make sure to bring your camera!
Thursday, July 30 3:30 p.m.
Swimming
Take a break from summer heat with a free swim in Showa’s indoor pool. No lifeguard will be on duty, so parents must supervise their children.
Thursday, August 7 6:30 p.m.
Movie Night
Enjoy some Japanese culture with a screening of a Hayao Miyazaki movie.
