Please note:

  • Under the still ongoing COVID-19 circumstances, the Governors Island Ferry requires a reservation. Please come to the Island by making the reservation for the ferry ride online.
  •  JPA’s event this year is a cultural program and unlike the summer festival we had in 2019, Japanese food vendors are not included in our program. Please bring your own lunch (bento) or purchase food from Governors Island food vendors or restaurants.
  • Our program’s venue is only at Nolan Park this year. Please note that there will be no dance performance show on top of Outlook Hill.
  • Please read the Covid Plan here. Registration links for certain workshops and programs will be posted on the same page.

More Info

Because of the COVID safety policy, JPA has to limit the venue capacity to up to 200 people each day. We will use Eventbrite to secure the participants’ booking and we may have to control the number of viewers by our staff members at the site.
