Japan Festival Houston is an event put on through the efforts of several organizations including Japan-Festival Houston, Japan-America Society of Houston, the City of Houston and the Houston Parks and Recreation Department.

At the festival, JETAA Texoma often sets up an information booth about the JET Program staffed by volunteers from our membership. If you're interested in volunteering for a shift at our booth, please contact us: http://www.jetaatexoma.org/contact-2/

If you just plan to attend the festival, feel free to pop by and say hello! It's a stellar event--but make sure to plan ahead for parking/walking, hydration, crowds, and sun-protection!

Every year, the Japanese Language Proficiency Test is hosted the first Sunday in December in Houston. Proctors are often needed, and some of our members regularly assist in this regard.

Details will be finalized by the AATJ and published on their website later in 2020 here: https://www.aatj.org/jlpt-us

Tentative; details to come later in the year, including a possible date change.

JETAA Texoma has, for some years, collaborated with JASH to host a Nengajo event where participants learn how to prepare for the new year in Japanese fashion and make their own new year's cards.
