The Japanese Cultural Fair has showcased Japanese tradition in Santa Cruz for over thirty years!

Since its founding in 1986, the fair has provided an opportunity for members of the Santa Cruz County community to increase their awareness and understanding of Japanese culture, both traditional and contemporary. Through the arts, crafts, and culture of Japan, the fair has brought together thousands of people, improving their understanding of our Pacific Rim neighbor, as well as enriching community life.

Tandy Beale was among the first collaborators to bring the idea of a Japanese themed cultural fair to Santa Cruz. Since then, The JCF has increased the activities and events it provides to the community and continues to do so, transforming itself, through the support of our community, from a minor cultural gathering to the annual event we know today.
