Traditional Japanese folk dancing and taiko drumming captivated a large crowd that gathered here for an afternoon of dramatic presentations and Japanese heritage at the 65th annual Obon Festival at Seabrook Buddhist Temple. The free cultural celebration returned Saturday, uniting the local temple with Buddhist temples in New York and Virginia. Hundreds of visitors filled a field next to the temple, where bright red paper lanterns shone overhead.
