Catch the San Francisco Awakko-ren dance group at this year's Presidio Picnic! The group will perform two shows at noon and 2pm, featuring a Japanese traditional dance with 400 years of history. The performance is a part of the Japanese American Cultural Performance and Community Heritage Showcase.
Founded in 2011, Awakko-Ren is a Bay Area Awa Odori (dance) group specializing in traditional Japanese dance and culture.
April honors the Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival and the 400-year tradition of Awa Odori, one of the most well-known Japanese traditional dance styles.
