What is Aki Matsuri (Fall Festival)?
The New Mexico Japanese-American Citizens League (NMJACL) has been hosting Aki Matsuri (trans.: fall festival) for over twenty years. The festival is the main annual event for NMJACL and serves as a venue to share Japanese and Japanese-American (JA) culture with all of New Mexico. Proceeds from the festival benefit NMJACL’s ongoing efforts to document events and history related to Japanese-American internment in New Mexico and the southwest, as well as funds for construction of a cultural center.

Our Mission
which dampened our goal for Aki Matsuri.
A Japanese Cultural Center in Albuquerque would showcase our culture, heritage, and history that we wish to impart to our children and the community. This is the ultimate Mission of Aki Matsuri.
