Holiday Delight is a longstanding community event in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago. The festival hosts a wide variety of vendors selling one-of-a-kind goods such as fine art, jewelry, fabric arts, pottery, Japanese collectible items, delicious Japanese sushi, baked goods and more. We will have performances by Tsukasa Taiko (traditional Japanese drumming), Toyoaki Shamisen (Japanese lute), Shubu-Kai of Chicago (traditional Japanese dance), and a visit from Santa!
