Ohanami 2007-01.jpg

Ohana (flowers) mi (look at) is a traditional festival in Japan to celebrate the arrival of spring. There will be lots of eating, drinking, and chatting done under the beautiful cherry blossom trees.

This is our 4th Ohanami Festival in Cambridge. Hope to see you all there!

The weather looks like it will be clear, sunny, and warm! Bring sunglasses! You might want to bring a sweatshirt in case it is breezy.

When: Saturday April 25, 2009 from 13:00 until it's dark. Or we're too cold. Or too tired. Or too tipsy.
Where: At the cherry blossom grove in front of Walker Memorial and Pierce Boathouse along the Charles river near MIT
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?
