Pinney Saturday Music Series

Join Wisconsin Eisa for a morning of Okinawan drumming! Eisa is a folk dance from Okinawa Island in southern Japan that combines traditional dance with karate and drumming. Originating as an after-school club at Madison West High School, Wisconsin Eisa has shared Okinawan culture with the greater Madison community for 30 years.

ColossalCon North - Cosplay Contest Halftime Show

Wisconsin Eisa will be performing during judge deliberation of ColossalCon North's Cosplay Contest Halftime Show! The contest takes place between 5pm and 7pm and we will be performing for about 10 minutes during that time.

We will kick off the festival with a performance at 1pm, but stick around for yakisoba, matcha tea experience, a performance by Madison's premier mainland taiko group, Beni Daiko, and much more!

National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade

One of DC’s largest spectator events, the energy-filled National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade® presented by Events DC runs for 10 blocks along iconic Constitution Avenue. Giant colorful helium balloons, elaborate floats, marching bands from across the country, celebrity entertainers, and performers burst down the Parade route in a grand spectacle of music and showmanship seen only once a year during the Festival.
 
The Parade is nationally syndicated and available for viewing through June 30.

BloomFest at the Tidal Basin

Chin Daiko of Maryland and Wisconsin Eisa perform a traditional style of Okinawan drumming and dance. The goals of this multi-cultural group are to help spread friendship and peace throughout the world. They participated in each National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade in the years 2005 through 2019, and again in 2022-2025. Every year they also perform in the Sakura Matsuri Street Festival.
