September 16-17 — JapanFest — Atlanta, Georgia
What you see at JapanFest is what you can experience firsthand, literally. This year’s theme, “Experience Japan,” is all about immersing yourself in our traditions, natural beauty, and pop culture.
Learn to be a Samurai like you see on the stage? Yes, work up a sweat. Learn how to make your own Bonsai? Yes, get your hands dirty. Be a part of the tea ceremony and taste the Matcha green tea? Yes, test your taste buds and your etiquette.

September 15-17 — Tennessee Game Days — Franklin, Tennessee
Tennessee Game Days are a series of open gaming conventions held annually around Nashville, TN. Attendees from all over Tennessee, surrounding states, and from places far and wide, gather for three solid days of open gaming. All kinds of board and card games will be available for play and you can find willing opponents for just about any game. During the course of the event, we also try to do some good by raising money for charitable causes – like children’s health or helping families with food shortages.
