Make a Wish! Tanabata Japanese Star Festival
Celebrate the annual reunion of Japan’s iconic star-crossed lovers with storytelling, dances and cultural activities!
The Children’s Museum of Houston and the Consulate General of Japan in Houston would like to invite you to celebrate the Make a Wish! “Tanabata 七夕” Japanese Star Festival. As legend is told in Japanese culture, two star-crossed lovers, Vega and Altair, are separated by the Milky Way. They are allowed to meet only once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. This reunion marks the celebration of Tanabata (meaning the evening of the seventh).
