The second annual Bon-Odori Dance Festival, named for an ancient Japanese folk-dancing celebration, is coming to New Paltz on Aug. 5 from 1 to 9 p.m. It will be held at the Blueberry Patch, located next to the Groovy Blueberry Wholesale Warehouse at Main and Water Street. While Bon-Odori dance festivals happen in every nook and cranny and village in Japan, and are gaining more international steam, particularly in Japanese hot spots like Hawaii and Australia, this is the only Hudson Valley Bon-Odori festival. According to its creator, Youko Yamamoto, co-owner with her husband of the Gomen-Kudasai Restaurant in the Rite Aid Plaza, it “is the only one of its kind, because we combine it with an emphasis and education on peace and to create a non-nuclear world.”
