I have known that the Bon Dance (Bon Odori Taikai) by Japanese Americans will be done in 66 Buddhist Charchs at least in the US (except Hawaii) as a part of the summer festival every year. That's exactly the same as Japan.
Wherever there're the Buddhist Charchs,it seems to be done. The Bon Dance
Festival of San Francisco is scheduled to celebrate 86th anniversary this year. Taking these aspects into consideration, Japanese Americans must have regarded Bon Dance as a tradition to inherit in the Japanese culture.
Just picking up the event venues where I can go by car, the following list has been completed.
■2017 Bon Odori Dance Practice - Buddhist Church of Sacramento
■2017 Bon Odori Dance Practice - Monterey Peninsula Buddhist Temple
