Kumoricon is a Community Partner for Mochitsuki, a Japanese American New Years Celebration and cultural fair.
Kumoricon will host a promotional table at the festival. Visit our table to pre-register for Kumoricon and participate in cosplay crafts.
You can support Kumoricon's involvement in the Mochitsuki festival by purchasing stage performance tickets! Performances are at 1:00pm and 3:15pm. Tickets are $12 for adults, $9 for students and seniors, and $5 for children ages 2 to 11, plus a processing fee of about $1.25 per ticket (the fee is due to the short amount of time until the event). Please order online here.
All tickets purchased from Kumoricon directly up to the original January 12 deadline are will call. If you purchase from the Brown Paper Tickets link above, we recommend choosing will call due to the short amount of time until the event.
"Come feed your spirit with the delights of cultural connections! Join us for this annual New Year celebration of Portland's Nikkei Community, Hawaiian style. The hour-long show will feature Portland Taiko, storytelling, Japanese folk dance and plenty of hearty entertainment for the whole family.
Admission includes access to the Activity Center where you can connect with Community Partner organizations through a community stage, food, games and of course, mochi pounding! The center will be open noon-4pm."
The Mochitsuki organizers will be showing the anime film Nitaboh at 1:45pm, lasting from 90 minutes to 2 hours.
