L.A.'s Tanabata Festival Already Naming 2025 Winners

So, the L.A. Tanabata Festival has already announced its winners for 2025! Seriously, that's some impressive forward planning, considering it's still a good while away.

It's always pretty cool to see how traditional Japanese festivals like Tanabata get celebrated and embraced beyond Japan's borders. The L.A. event sounds like a really vibrant community gathering, especially with categories like 'People's Choice' and 'kenjinkai' (which are groups of Japanese prefectural associations abroad). It really shows how folks keep those cultural ties strong.
