Parking Advice for 2023 Bon Odori, July 29

We recommend planning enough time to deal with parking challenges for our Saturday, July 29 Bon Odori.

We use all of our off-street parking lot for the event itself, so we all have to find onstreet parking in most cases. Here are some tips and advice to make sure you enjoy the event.

  • Share rides if possible.

  • Build time into your schedule to find parking on nearby streets.

  • Use drop-off on Market Street for any people in your party so they don’t have to walk several blocks.

  • Uber and Lyft are also options.

  • Take advantage of some of our business neighbors who have allowed us to use their parking on Market Street for this evening only. As a courtesy, please wait until the businesses close.

Market Street Businesses Allowing Parking

Parking will be available at the following businesses near the temple:

  • Carpet Cushion Company, 2895 Market Street (11 parking spaces)

Please Note:

  • Other businesses in the area are likely to tow cars parked in their lots without permission. Please park wisely.

  • There is no parking in the large lot at the Fillipino-American Center (FAVA Hall) across Market Street.

  • Please take care crossing Market Street on foot. It is a busy commercial throughfare.
