| Ohana (お花 or "flowers") mi (見 or "look at") is a traditional festival in Japan to celebrate the arrival of spring. There is traditionally lots of eating, drinking, and chatting done under the beautiful [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakura cherry blossom] trees.

| This is our 5th Ohanami Festival in Cambridge. Hope to see you all there!
| |
| | |
| The weather looks like it will be sunny, and warm! Of course, it's still spring and it might be breezy so please bring a sweatshirt or coat to stay arm.

| |
| | |
| Bring enough warm clothes to stay outside for some time. Coats, sweatshirts, blankets, and things to bundle up in are a good idea. Also feel free to bring delicious things to eat or snack on and drinks to keep you hydrated. We'll be providing drinks as well.
| |
| | |
| Folks should feel free to drink alcohol but please be advised that this is a public place so take care to be discreet. Obviously, that means no drinking out of marked bottles, for example. We'll have copious amounts of sangria in coolers and cups.
