Enjoy a variety of live performances by some of Atlanta’s most beloved children’s musicians and storytellers in this engaging series. Shows take place Fridays, May through September at 10 and 10:45 a.m.  

Join Mirai Kanai as they bring the exhilarating art form of Eisa to life—feel the rhythm, witness the tradition, and let the pulse of Okinawa move you! Originally performed to honor ancestors during Obon festivals, Eisa has evolved into a year-round celebration of Okinawan culture, featuring synchronized movements, spirited shouts, and the deep, resonant beats of both small hand drums and large taiko drums.

Free with Garden Membership or Admission; no show reservations are required.
