The Fukushima Kids Welcome Festival will be held from 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday at Hualalai Academy’s Bridge Building.
Organized by nonprofit Fukushima Kids Hawaii, this festival is part of an effort to give children from Fukushima, Japan a healthy and fun respite in Hawaii. The public is invited to meet children from Fukushima, attend a lecture on radiation and health, dance with Zumba instructors and participate in a silent auction. Entertainment will also include a taiko performance. Festival attendees are asked to bring healthy food to share. Volunteers are also needed.
The festival is free, but donations may be made at iam-ced.org/donate.html.
