The Las Vegas JACL is doing it's part in helping to accomplish JACL's mission by initiating and participating in events such as the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, Hawaiian Luau, Obon Festival, Mochitsuki, and Akimatsuri Festival. It also sponsors the Kaminari Taiko Group. JACL members come from all races and cultures - - Japanese ancestry is not required to become a member.
Our Activity Center has various events held throughout the week..
Our mission is to spread the joy and culture of taiko and its history from Japan to as many people within Las Vegas and beyond. By maintaining a strong standard of tradition mixed with the desire of innovation, we teach not only the history and culture of taiko, but also important musical concepts we believe are needed to maintain and achieve even higher levels of performance success.
