Pride Month picnic in Yoyogi Park and browsing Tokyo Rainbow Pride! 🌈 ✨

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ June is pride month, when we celebrate the LGBTQ community!
Also, Tokyo’s pride festival (Tokyo Pride) is from June 7-8 this year.
Let’s celebrate it by having a picnic in nearby Yoyogi Park!

📋 Tentative timetable:

1. 11:00 meet at Harajuku station, west exit near Meiji Jingu
2. Go to Yoyogi Park
3. Walk around the park and enjoy the early summer flora
4. 11:30-12:00 Find a picnic spot if I haven’t already scouted one out
5. Eat food and socialize
6. 13:00 Go to the Tokyo Pride and check out the booths

🌱 The above activities are just a suggestion, so we can play it by ear. Let’s decide what to do and in what order when we get together on the day of.

🌱 Also, you can come just to see the booths with us, or stay at the picnic spot and forgo the booths.

🌱 This is a drop in event, so feel free to comee and go as you please! But it would be best to meet at 11:00 at the station so no one gets lost.

🧳 What to bring:

• Your lunch *since this is a vegan meetup, please bring a vegan lunch even if you won’t be sharing your food.
  Please note, since this is a picnic and not a potluck, you don’t need to bring food for everyone, but if you would like to bring food to share that is more than welcome!
• Reusable plate/bowl/kidcutlery/chopsticks
• Water, tea or sports drink
• Weather appropriate clothing, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc
• if you have one, a picnic blanket/cushion (I will bring a big tarp, but just in case)
• Your smile!

Important
⚠️ You don’t have to be LGBTQ to participate in this meetup. Straight allies are more than welcome. However, please be considerate of everyone’s identity or gender presentation. Homophobia and transphobia are not allowed.
⚠️ The picnic will be cancelled in the case of rain. In that case, i will still go to Tokyo pride, so going to the booths is an option.
