Celebrate Tanabata at both Wing Luke Museum and the Japanese Garden in the Arboretum with a shuttle to transport you between the celebrations. Tanabata is an annual Japanese festival based on the legend of two stars, Vega and Altair, who are separated lovers in the Milky Way. Once a year on the evening of July 7th, Vega and Altair are allowed to meet. Traditionally, prayers are offered, and poems, wishes and words are attached to bamboo branches. The Wing’s celebration is sponsored by the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation.
