[SU24] Matsuri 2024 🏮🎋

SFU JN’s Matsuri event is back for the summer, after the huge success from our very first Matsuri Event last year! 🏮 On July 12th, JN executives and members gathered to enjoy fun, interactive games while enjoying the traditional "Natsu Matsuri" (summer festival) inspired booths and delicious food.

We started our event by giving out bingo sheets as an icebreaker upon entering the venue, followed by a large-scale game of musical chairs. 🎵 The competitive spirit continued with a thrilling relay Ring Toss, where teams raced against each other, and Karuta, a traditional Japanese card game that tested participants memory & Japanese language skills. After rounds of interactive games, we had dinner which included classic Japanese festival foods like Yakisoba, Gyoza, and Karaage. 🍗 🥟 🍜

Lastly, no Matsuri event would be complete without fun, interactive Matsuri booths! We hosted a variety of mini games and activities that were Japanese culture/festival themed, including Yoyo Tsuri, Shateki, Omikuji, Karaoke, and of course, the Yukata try-on station where attendees had a chance to dress up in beautiful Japanese traditional clothing. 🎯🎋👘🎤

We would like to thank everyone who attended and contributed to the success of the Matsuri event! Stay tuned to our social media channels for updates on future activities. We can’t wait to see you at our next event! 😊
