This free event for all ages celebrates Springfield’s sister city relationship with Isesaki, Japan and Tlaquepaque, Mexico. 

Bring a kite to fly on the great lawn or build and decorate one for $5. Enjoy Japanese and Mexican performances and activities; little ones can try their hand at breaking piñatas filled with candy.

Take advantage of free admission to the Mizumoto Japanese Stroll Garden from 10:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. The Stroll Garden is open daily from March 30-October 31; admission is regularly $4.
