Do you have kids, but are not sure how to participate in the Day of Remembrance? Here are some suggestions:
- *Attend the Japanese folk song sing-along from 4:30-5 (for the young and young at heart!)
- Attend the Tacoma Fuji Taiko performance from 5:30-6
- Bring your kids to see the pop-up photo exhibit any time during the event
- Participate in the craft activity. Have the volunteers help your kids to fold a crane or write on a luggage tag
- Pick up an origami crane from one of the volunteers and attend the memory procession, 6:30-7PM, a short walk from the History Museum to Union Station.
All activities are free, since it’s Third Thursday.
From May 2nd-17th, our sponsors at the Children’s Museum of Tacoma are also participating by setting up an origami activity in their art studio space inside the museum. The results will be transported over to the History Museum on the Day of Remembrance.
Full schedule of events is here.
