on july 7, 7 pm, they are holding a 'tanabata star festival' at the Portland Japanese Garden. Celebrate Japan's popular summer festival, which has it's own roots in an old fable of two celestial lovers who are allowed to meet only once a year, on the seventh day of the seventh month. The festival will feature koto music, dance, and a wishing tree.
