The Fort Worth Botanic Garden | Botanical Research Institute of Texas invites guests to celebrate the beauty of fall in the Japanese Garden while exploring the arts and culture of Japan during the Nov. 13-14 Fall Japanese Festival. Tickets are available online. 

“This festival fosters Japanese and American understanding and provides opportunities to learn about Japan, its people, language and culture,” said Harvey Yamagata, longtime member of the Fort Worth Japanese Society, which co-hosts the event each year. “Observing cultural demonstrations such as the traditional tea ceremonies or hearing the powerful sounds of the taiko drums delivers a true immersive experience.”

“The cooler temperatures and changing colors of fall provide one of the best times of the year to visit the Garden,” said FWBG |BRIT Executive Vice President Bob Byers. “The Japanese Garden is an iconic part of our campus, and the fall festival highlights its many distinctive natural and architectural features.”
