Descanso Gardens to celebrate Japanese arts, crafts and culture with a weekend of activities for the whole family, Nov 6-7
The annual Japanese Garden Festival is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 6-7 at Descanso Gardens, 1418 Descanso Drive, La Canada Flintridge, CA 91011.
Always a crowd favorite, taiko drummers will perform at noon on Saturday.
A floral exhibit by the Glendale Chrysanthemum Society will be on view in Van de Kamp Hall. The chrysanthemum is the emblem of the Japanese emperor.
Suiseki stones - naturally occurring stones which evoke images of nature in their patterns - will be exhibited both days in the Minka.
And a Descanso summer favorite, the Camellia Lounge, will make a return appearance for the weekend in the Full Moon Teahouse. Enjoy a Japanese-inspired menu, including sake, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Festival hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. The Gardens are open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The festival is free with Gardens admission: $8 adults, $6 senior/students and $3 children 5-12.
