Lighting Hope from Japan to LA

Freedom LA is proudly partnered with OC Japan Fair, the largest Japanese cultural event in America with over 15 years of experience. In our first year together, we welcomed over 52,000 attendees and look forward to welcoming more each year.

 

Our mission is to introduce Japan’s culture and share its beauty to the world. We are looking for passionate individuals to join us in spreading the wonders of Japanese culture.

A portion of the sponsorship funds will be dedicated to supporting relief efforts for the recent fires in Los Angeles.
