SUMMARY:Fire Horse Ladies' Summer Party ヒノエウマ女子の夏祭り
DESCRIPTION:FIRE HORSE LADIES SUMMER PARTY\nJuly 7\, 2026 \nA celebration by Fire Horse Ladies\, for Fire Horse Ladies.\n2026 marks the return of the Fire Horse Year—a milestone that comes only once every 60 years. \nFor generations in Japan\, women born in the Fire Horse year were burdened by an unfair superstition that labeled them as “too strong\,” “too independent\,” or even destined to bring misfortune.\nThe impact was so significant that when the last Fire Horse Year arrived in 1966\, Japan’s birth rate reportedly dropped by nearly 25%.\nT\nhe Fire Horse Ladies Summer Party is organized by the very women born in that year—women who have lived through those stereotypes\, challenged them\, and forged their own paths.\nToday\, we are launching a new movement called Celebrate in Orange 2026. \nOur goal is simple:\nTo transform the Fire Horse Year from a year once feared into a year proudly celebrated around the world.\n🧡 Let’s celebrate the 60th birthday of the Fire Horse generation in orange—the color that symbolizes the positive energy\, strength\, and spirit of the Fire Horse.\nAs the first step in this movement\, we hosted the Fire Horse Ladies Hina Matsuri ( Girls’ Festival) Celebration in Tokyo this March.\nWomen traveled from across Japan to attend. Some had struggled with the Fire Horse stigma throughout their lives. Others had never paid much attention to it. Yet by the end of the evening\, many shared the same feeling:\n“I am proud to be a Fire Horse.” \nOur next gathering will take place in Bellevue\, Washington.\nOn the evening of Tanabata\, July 7\, Fire Horse Ladies will come together once again to learn\, connect\, share stories\, and celebrate.\nThis event will be held in both English and Japanese.\nWomen born in 1966 are welcome regardless of nationality\, language\, or cultural background.\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\nFire Horse Ladies Summer Party\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\nDate:\nTuesday\, July 7\, 2026 6:30 PM\nLocation:\nAvalon Towers Lounge\nBellevue\, Washington\nSuggested Admission:\n$60—Pay What You wish\n・Light refreshments and free-flow drinks included\n・Commemorative Fire Horse gift included\n・Learn about the history and myths of Fire Horse women in Japan.\n・Bilingual event (English & Japanese)\n・Advance registration required \nThis is a community-organized celebration created by and for Fire Horse Ladies. Our goal is to bring together as many Fire Horse Ladies as possible to celebrate this special year together. Please contribute whatever feels right for you. \nRegistration:\nhttps://forms.gle/tAF9qyUiqzPQERaT6\nEvent Details: \nFire Horse Ladies’ Summer Party ・ヒノエウマ女子の夏祭り！in Bellevue\,WA \n\nIf you were born in 1966\, we would love to celebrate with you.\nHosted by:\nFire Horse Ladies Organizing Committee\nOrganizer:\nMegumi Ijiri Haskin \nAfter 60 years\, Fire Horse Ladies are gathering to celebrate\, learn\, connect\, and create a new story together.
