Despite the hot days with Saturday reaching 101 degrees, the 2026 Japanese Festival was a success! Thank you to all of the volunteers that helped man our St. Louis JACL Soda Tent to raise money for our annual events!

Wendy Roll, Robin Hattori, and Hallie Roll performed two cooking demonstration sessions of a JACL Nisei Kitchen recipes at Kemper Kitchen for the third consecutive year. We hope to post this on YouTube soon!
