Why stop the monster parade on October 31 (Halloween), keep it going with Obake Family Day at Japan Society in New York on Sunday, November 2.

Obake

"In this day-long adventure, families are transported to a magical world where Japan's ghosts, goblins and mystical creatures await you.

Unlimited access is available to the Japan Society Gallery exhibition Garden of Unearthly Delights and food and drink will be available for purchase. Come dressed in your favorite costume and see how many creatures you can conjure up!" 

Advance tickets: Adults $12/$10 Japan Society members; kids (ages 3-12) $6/$5 Japan Society members

Day of tickets: Adults $15/$12 Japan Society members; kids (ages 3-12) $8/$6 Japan Society members
