Experience family fun surrounded by beautiful scenery at the Seattle Japanese Garden! On Saturday, April 1, the Japanese Garden will launch its new First Saturday Family Program. The program will feature special family-oriented entertainment to give visitors of all ages an opportunity to learn about Japanese cultural traditions. Performances will take place at the Japanese Garden from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the first Saturday of each month in April through October.

Afterwards, visitors can enjoy coloring pages and origami folding in the Garden’s Tateuchi Community Room.
