As Kasey, our Social Chair, mentioned earlier this week, the Boston Haru Matsuri Cherry Blossom Festival is happening this Sunday the 29th from 11am-4pm in Copley Square. A few days ago the weather showed rain but now it’s expected to be sunny, high in the mid 50’s!
Everyone is welcome to attend the free festival and there will be over 80 booths with food, arts/crafts, games, and musical performances. Bring some cash if you’d like to purchase food or other items at the festival! This is a great event for people of all ages and friends of JET and those involved in the Japan-US community! We’re expecting a huge turnout for this event!
A group of NEJETAA members are planning to go together, so if you would like to join us, we’ll meet at 11am around the area between the stage and the information table. Please RSVP on our Facebook event page and let us know if you plan to be there so we can look out for you!
Also please note that if you are coming to the festival by public transit (recommended as parking can be hard to find) and taking the Red Line, there will be shuttle bus service between Kendall and Broadway stations due to maintenance scheduled at Park Street station. Please factor in some extra time when planning your commute.
We look forward to seeing you at the festival!
