Ohanami 2010
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 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.
- When: Sunday April 11, 2010 from 13:00 until it's dark. Or we're too cold. Or too tired. Or too tipsy. Or rain.
- Where: At the cherry blossom grove in front of Walker Memorial and Wood Sailing Pavilion along the Charles river near MIT. If we move to a location with more blossoms, we'll update this page.
- Who: You! Feel free to bring family and friends!
If you would like to and are able to help Mako and Mika make sangria before hand, please call either Mako or Mika ahead of time to organize this.
What Should I Bring?
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.
