Ginza Holiday Festival (Old Town)
Details
READ THE CHAT,_ we're first gonna meet-up @ HUDSON CHESS PARK (directly outside of the entrance) for ~15 min & then go to the event at 5:45pm~6:00pm.
This is a casual hangout event for those attending the Ginza Holiday Festival. This outdoor street fest offers live performances, shopping and food.
Schedule:
Don't need to get there 5:30 sharply! It's a more relaxed festival where people are mainly there for the performances, and socialize. The main stage is mainly performance, and then there are shops and food in the back corner of the temple. Just recognize that we will be mainly just watching the performances but people are free to peel off and shop around and grab food.
