Dress Code

You may be wondering what the proper “dress code” is. The dress code is “dress your best as an adult”. You can wear traditional clothing like a Furisode or a Haori & Hakama, a suit, an elegant dress or your best jeans with your brightest sneakers!
新成人は、自分が大人としてふさわしいと思う自分らしい服装でいらしてください。かしこまらなくてもかまいません！

There will be a check-in table at the entrance to the Sammamish HS Performing Arts Center. Bringing your digital ticket will make the check-in process smoothly. If you forget, that’s OK. We will check your ID instead.

Wearing mask is optional for SEIJIN-shiki USA staff, volunteers and participants.

The guidance for a safe and fun 4th annual SEIJIN-shiki USA follows CDC and Department of Health Washington guidelines to prevent infections.

All participants who enter the facility are responsible for abiding by these guidelines.

1. On the day of the event, if you have the following symptoms or feel unwell, please stay home to protect yourself and others.

Possible symptoms of COVID-19:

• Fever (> 100.4° F or 38° C) or chills
• Cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Fatigue
• Muscle or body aches
• Headache
• New loss of taste or smell
• Sore throat
• Congestion or runny nose
• Nausea or vomiting

2. Masks are no longer required in many places; we recommend that people may want to continue to wear a mask for added protection against COVID-19. Especially those who are immunocompromised, living with someone immunocompromised, or who may just feel safer wearing a mask.
3. Hand washing is recommended before entering the venue, before and after eating and drinking, and after using the restroom. The best method of hand washing is to use running water and soap, lather the soap and scrub your hands for 20 seconds or use a 60% or more alcohol gel and rub 20-30 seconds.
