Albuquerque Museum presents—as part of its 3rd Thursday series, don't ya know—Little Tokyo, 1941, a mini fall festival celebrating Japanese American culture in Burque and the US. Including authentic cuisine and a cash bar, this event happens on Thursday, Oct. 17 from 5 to 8:30pm and also features arts and crafts booths, taiko drumming performances and music by Toru Saito—aka the Japanese Bing Crosby—as well the Yokohama Sisters. A multimedia presentation commemorating the museum's exhibition of Japanese-American life titled Courage and Compassion: Our Shared Story of the Japanese American World War II Experience caps off this celebratory exploration of part of our city's history that has—until recently—been overlooked. Free admission and a family friendly environment make this a go-to event for Burqueños who are interested in local history and multiculturalism. (August March)
