The 82nd Nisei Week Japanese Festival kicked things off yesterday with their Grand Parade through Little Tokyo.
During the parade, spectators witnessed a bevy of floats, dancers, and community groups. KABC ABC7 Eyewitness News anchor David Ono was this year’s Grand Marshal while actress Amy Hill, who is best known for their work in All-American Girl, Lilo & Stitch, and the Magnum P.I. reboot, arrived as the Parade Marshal. Our photos from the event can be seen below.
Nisei Week Japanese Festival will continue through the week with a slew of events, including Crazy Talented Asians: Nisei Week Edition 2024 and the closing ceremony. More information about Nisei Week Japanese Festival can be found here.
