It is a time to remember those who have come before us and to reflect with deep gratitude on how their lives made our own possible.

Parking and admission are free. Obon is also known for Bon Odori folk dancing, a celebration and expression of gratitude for those who are no longer with us. Everyone is invited to join in on the dancing, which starts at 6:30 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday! Vista Buddhist Temple on Facebook / Instagram
