Are you a foodie? Do you love trying new types of food? Are you ready to be done with Covid and have a good time making new friends while enjoying great food?
If you answered, yes, to any of the prior questions, come out to the Sakura International Festival this year held at the Japanese Mountain View Seventh-day Adventist church. We're offering a wide variety of cultural dishes from around the world so bring the family and friends out on April 23rd, at 4pm.

This year our slogan is 'Friendship Through Food' emphasizing how food brings us all together and can help us bridge language, culture and unhealthy stereotypes. We're leveraging years of successful food events previously held at MVJSDA church.
