On the occasion of KOKUYOSA, North America’s first international Yosakoi festival, we extend our deepest and heartfelt gratitude for the tremendous support given by each of our sponsors.
Thanks to your generosity and cooperation, we have been able to create a place here in Alberta to welcome dancers gathering from Japan, Canada, and around the world, and to nurture cultural exchange and mutual understanding.
This festival could not have been realized without the support of each of our sponsors; their efforts are the foundation that upholds the historic significance of KOKUYOSA. We thank them once again, and introduce below the sponsors who help make this festival possible.
