The White River Bon Odori Festival – a community celebration and Buddhist tradition honoring those who have passed – blossomed Saturday at the White River Buddhist Temple.
O-Bon is called “gathering of joy in gratitude.” Young and old come together to dance, rejoice and remember their ancestors, family and friends.
Festivities included a short opening service, a children’s parade, traditional folk dancing, drum demonstrations, music and food.
