Teens in Nara, Japan, writing wishes to hang on bamboo during the Tanabata festival.

BCPL’s Teen Planning Committee is bringing Japan’s Tanabata Festival to Bullitt County—with a little twist! During this annual festival, the Japanese honor old traditions and celebrate the legend of Orihime and Hikoboshi, two lovers who can meet only once a year and are believed to be imbued with the power to grant wishes upon their reunion. During our celebration, participants will have an opportunity to make their own wishes, plus we’ll have a variety of carnival and trivia games to enjoy!

For middle & high school ages.
Just drop in on the 2nd Thursday of the month! Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please note: This event will take place during our regular meeting date and time. Regular Teen Planning Committee meetings will still take place at our Hillview and Mt. Washington branches. These will be out FIRST official meetups at these locations, and we’re excited to get started! Questions? E-mail [email protected].
