Hatsume Fair at the Morikami Gardens

[AnaIkimaru]

Considering it is within the state, I'm counting it as "local"! Ana's Ikimaru will be there as a vendor. Please stop by and say hello!

Celebrating the first bud of spring, the Morikami's largest annual event, Hatsume, transforms the normally tranquil Morikami Park into a unique Japanese spring festival.

In its 31st year, Hatsume Fair features three stages of continuous entertainment including taiko drumming, martial art demonstrations, children's activities, and Anime @ Hatsume including dealers, a cosplay contest, and presentations of Anime History, Travel to Japan, Japanese Folk Tales and more!

Also included are avenues of artisan booths, plant sales, anime dealers, Asian and American food vendors and The Kirin Beer Garden!
