Here’s the plan for this Sunday’s Tanabata Samba Matsuri in Ushigome Yanagicho. July 3rd, 2005.
We will meet at Ushigome Yanagicho Station ticket gates at 12:30pm. If you’re late, please turn left after the gates, go up and you’ll see the parade. Please call if you’re running late. Ushigome Yanagicho Station is three stops from Shinjuku-nishiguchi on the Oedo Line.
The parade starts at 1pm and festivities go on till 5pm. We must leave a little earlier in order to make it back to Kichijoji for capoeira class.
The parade will feature samba from G.R.E.S. Liberdade Samba Group. They compete every year in the Asakusa Samba Parade, and have come 2nd three times so far.
Please wear some comfortable clothes as we’ll be dancing and possibly playing some capoeira on the street.
