Japanese festival 2025!!

🌸 A Celebration of Culture & Friendship



What an incredible day we had on Sunday, 3 August, at the Frankston Japanese Festival! We were absolutely thrilled to host our amazing community, along with special guests from our sister city Susono, Japan, for a day filled with culture, laughter, and connection.

From taiko drumming, martial arts demonstrations, calligraphy workshops, delicious Japanese food stalls, and beautiful cultural displays, the festival was alive with energy and colour. Everywhere you looked, there were smiles, learning moments, and celebrations of Japanese traditions right here in Frankston.

This festival would not have been possible without the dedication and passion of so many people. To our FSFA committee members, volunteers, performers, stall holders, and of course, our wonderful community and friends from Susono, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Your support and involvement made this celebration truly unforgettable!
