Rooted in the Okinawan proverb "Icharibachodee," meaning "once we meet, we are family," Ichari-Van Night aims to share Okinawa’s enduring spirit of resilience, cultural heritage, and history to inspire connections that transcend borders and cultivate a future of mutual understanding and harmony - just like family.
Description
Ichari-Van Night (IVN) is a family-friendly event held in honour of Irei no Hi (Okinawa Memorial Day). Join us for a day of Okinawan cultural performances, food, exhibitions, and let us come together to reflect on peace.
Each ticket comes with a small candle to carry the spirit of peace home with you.
