New This Year
To enhance our celebration, this year's International Night will combine elements from our traditional Japanese Fair and Family Fun @ International Night into a single, larger event. This change aims to create a more vibrant and inclusive experience for all. Plus, we’ll be kicking things off with a World Cup theme, building excitement for the 2026 tournament while celebrating the global spirit of soccer and the rich diversity of the Lawrence community.
