Celebrating Nihon Matsuri!

Sister Cities was happy to be part of the 21st annual Nihon Matsuri festival on Japantown Street on Saturday, April 25th.

We loved hearing about the many connections between Salt Lake City and Japan and the city’s decades long connection to Matsumoto.

Sister Cities extends a huge thank you to the Nihon Matsuri organizing committee for hosting our table along with so many other wonderful presenters.

Visitors to the Sister Cities table at Nihon Matsuri had the chance to place a pin on the map to show their Japanese roots or connection to Japan.

Salt Lakers have connections throughout Japan!

The connection between Matsumoto and Salt Lake City extends back nearly 70 years.
