Ten Years of Foyle Obon!

Can you believe it is 10 years since the very beginning of Foyle Obon?!

フォイルオボンが始まってから10年が経ちました!

In 2014, a small group of dedicated people came together to form Foyle Obon, a registered charity organisation which aims to use Japanese arts as a force for good in post conflict Northern Ireland.

To celebrate we will be looking back and sharing some of the highlights and special moments for some #foyleobonflashbackFridays throughout 2024!

これを記念して、2024年の#foyleobonflashbackFridaysのために、いくつかのハイライトと特別な瞬間を振り返り、共有したいと思います!

ようこそ & Welcome

Foyle Obon is a pioneering Japanese arts organisation leading the way in the development and delivery of Japanese arts in Northern Ireland.

We focus on local and international partnership building, commissioning and education projects, supporting emerging and established artists and building community and intercultural understanding. We are home to the Foyle Obon Japanese Festival – the only Obon festival in Europe and the only place in Northern Ireland where you can get good Kakigori shaved ice!
