Japan Day @ Central Park

On June 3, New York will host Japan Day @ Central Park. The event will go from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm and kicks off with the Japan Run. Food, activity, and electronic tents will be spread out all over Central Park showcasing Japan's traditional and contemporary culture. Among their live performances will be sword demonstrations and traditional music. This is similar to the Cherry Blossom Festival held in DC each year. There are a couple of exceptions that make Japan Day an event on its own. For example, an Anime cosplay contest is scheduled in the afternoon. More information should be available on their official site as the event draws nearer.
