OUR STEERING COMMITTEE

The Arizona Matsuri is a cooperative effort from this dedicated group of volunteers and partner organizations.

Arizona Matsuri Steering Committee members will be wearing blue happi coats during the festival. Please feel free to ask them questions or give them event feedback. 

If you are interested in being a part of the group that makes the Arizona Matsuri happen each year, please submit an Arizona Matsuri Steering Committee Application to express your interest in joining the committee. The committee meets the first Monday of every month both virtually and in-person. Thank you for your interest!
