Its a Vibe Tribe 20’s, 30’s 40’s

The Japan Festival Boston will once again be organized by the historic Boston Common on Saturday, April 25th, to Sunday, April 26th.
This meetup is host-less, so use the comment section to find each other. There will be performers, food vendors, cultural events, and more!

Japan’s traditional festival is a place to thank gods for their blessings and gather on special occasions with friends and family, serving as a catalyst for bonding communities. We would like to create our version of this festival here in Boston.

This festival provides an opportunity for attendees to learn about Japan and its culture. By learning and understanding culture, the fear of the unknown disappears and has the power to form a bond, connecting people of various cultures and backgrounds to build a foundation for peace.

⛵ Get Ready for the Ultimate Day on the Water! ⛵

We are gearing up for a legendary weekend of salt air, epic views, and making new connections! If you’ve been looking for a stress-free way to dip your toes into the world of sailing and meet awesome new people, this is it. We’re making "learning the ropes" a total breeze! 🌬️✨

🌊 What’s on the Horizon?
Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or have never stepped foot on a boat, we’ve got you covered. Hop aboard a Rhodes 19 keelboat for a free 20-minute sail around Boston Harbor with one of our experienced skippers!

Boats can accommodate up to 4 adults or 2 adults and 3 small children. For groups of 5 or 6, please reserve 4 slots and we will work hard to get everyone on the water together but cannot guarantee space aboard.

• The Experience: Enjoy fabulous city views from the end of the pier or out on the water.
• The Atmosphere: Light refreshments will be served ashore.
• Stability First: Nervous about tipping? Don't be! Our keelboats have a heavy lead counterbalance to keep you upright. They "heel" (lean) for fun, but they don't tip over!
