Event organizer’s description:

Each year, Vashon Island gathers to remember a profound and painful chapter in its history—the forced removal of Japanese Americans during World War II.

Host organization:
Founded by Issei pioneer B.D. Mukai in 1926 as a strawberry farm, Mukai Farm & Garden today is on the National Register of Historic places with its rare heritage home, Japanese Garden, and Barreling Plant. Open and free to the public, it celebrates Vashon Island’s Japanese American and agrarian heritage. Come visit!
