Welcome to the Eastside Nihon Matsuri Association (ENMA) Home page! "Nihon" and "Matsuri" are Japanese words. They mean "Japanese Festival".

ENMA is a non-profit organization staffed by a team of community minded volunteers who are interested in preserving and furthering the arts and crafts of Japan for the enjoyment of all community members in the Greater Seattle area and Pacific Northwest.



Every Fall, ENMA presents "Aki Matsuri (Fall Festival)", a celebration of Japan's rich cultural heritage. A large number of local artists and craftpersons practicing Japanese-style arts and crafts, performing arts, martial arts, and Japan related businesses & organizations will be participating during the entire two day event.

2011 will be the 14th year to present the Aki Matsuri. "2011 Aki Matsuri" will be held on September 10 (Saturday) and September 11 (Sunday), 2011 at the Bellevue College's main campus located in Bellevue, Washington.

We invite everyone to join in the many activities of the matsuri. There really is something for everyone! The matsuri is an excellent opportunity to experience the rich culture of Japan as we bring "Japan to the Bellevue College for a weekend!"
