Meet the official festival character Happy chan and get down with the fine citizens of Tokyo’s closest ward to Chiba. There will be performances, a character show (involving a police character, from what we can tell), different sections including happy square, fresh square, friends square and the usual selection of delicious festival foods, local produce and probably a fire engine. The venue for the festival is the green expanse of Shinozaki Park – here’s a map of what’s to be found where on the day.
