Edogawa Hanabi Hoop Picnic
Hoop dance, fireworks, picnic on the banks of the Edo river. Although the official fireworks display is canceled this year, let’s make our own with LED hoops and all of our glittery, sparkly electric toys! (And some fireworks, too, thanks to Tod.) All flow arts welcome and there’s no need to hoop. Bring your family & friends and a delicious picnic.
Where to meet:
Point 1: 5:30 pm. Iidabashi eki, Sobu platform, middle of the train.
Point 2: 6:05 pm. Koiwa Station.
Point 3: After 6:30. Edogawa Ground. Around the baseball grounds, north of the hospital, south of the bridges. MAP You can try to call me; no promises that I will be able to answer. 🙂 090-5439-0036
