This afternoon I was at the Cherry Blossom Festival in Japantown, mainly to stop by the food bazaar for an unagi bowl. This is the 1st weekend of the festival, which culminates in a parade next Sunday afternoon.
There were a lot of people enjoying the street fair, so some of the booths had long lines.
Sponge Bob was spending the day as a tout for the Boy Scouts.
People played games of Go in the street.
There are 2 outdoor stages, as well as the usual exhibits & street vendors.
The origami exhibit is small, unfortunately, but these colorful hot air balloons look like they were fun to make.
I saw fine displays of Lolita fashion among attendees,
... as well as cosplay folks having a leisurely day out.
These slightly skittish furries behaved like escapees from a Disney park, trying to act natural in the crowd in order to avoid recapture.

Nice account and pictures. The final photo of the furries were unsettling because, though I'm not quite sure how, I stumbled across some furry internet video porn and I can't look at people dressed like that without mentally referencing the footage.
Thanks! I have to admit that I find people dressed in large animal costumes a bit unsettling too, & I've never seen any furry porn!
