60th Ginza Festival

Ho Etsu celebrates the 60th annual Ginza Festival at Midwest Buddhist Temple. There will be food. There will be ukuleles. And of course, there will be drums.

Stop by to catch one of our 4 stage shows, then hang out afterwards for some of MBT’s famous teriyaki chicken. After 60 years, you know that recipe is darn near perfect.

August 7, 8, and 9. Midwest Buddhist Temple. 435 W Menomonee Chicago, IL 60614.
