On behalf of Oregon Buddhist Temple, we wish to extend our deep gratitude to the many volunteers and temple members who helped to make the 2025 Obon Festival a success. Our Sangha and many in the broader community look forward to Obon each year. This gathering of remembrance and joy would not be possible without all of you sharing your time and talents. We are also grateful to the individual donors and vendors for their support. We thank everyone involved with Obon Fest –arigato gozaimashita.
Charley Reneau and Kim Kono, Co-Chairs
Many scenes from this Obon Festival were captured by our talented volunteer photographers - we will be sharing them throughout the year, but you can see a small part of them (because there are so many great photos taken!!!) on our Obon page:
