The Topaz Museum is happy to announce April 30-May 2, 2026, as the dates of our 2026 Topaz Pilgrimage! This pilgrimage will pay tribute to the 11,212 people of Japanese descent who were incarcerated at the Topaz WWII American concentration camp and give participants the opportunity to explore the legacy of Topaz as well as the Japanese American history in Salt Lake City and Utah.
Our 2026 pilgrimage will be honored with a visit by the Ireicho: Book of Names on its national tour. Due to the overwhelming interest in the Ireicho, Topaz Pilgrimage participants cannot be guaranteed an appointment to personally stamp it. However, there will be an opportunity to convene as a group to honor the book at a ceremony on the Topaz site on Saturday May 2nd.
On the evening of April 30 and all day on May 1 in Salt Lake City, we will offer intergenerational programming, including activities at the Salt Lake Buddhist Temple and walking tours of historic Japantown and other local interests. On Saturday May 2nd, bus transportation will take participants from Salt Lake City to Delta for a day trip to the Topaz Museum and the historic Topaz site.
Registration ends March 31, or when registration reaches capacity. Click Here to REGISTER TODAY
