| Powell Street Festival
FYI, this year's festival is back at Oppenheimer Park. Tomorrow and Sunday.
Man, that park has gone through some major changes over the years. Nothing like what it was when I lived in that area some 50 years ago.

They've made some pretty big improvements to the park itself but they need to "clean up" the area

Short answer: Yes, it is a "Japanese festival thingy."
Long answer: The Powell Street Festival Quote:
The Powell Street Festival is an annual celebration of Japanese Canadian arts, culture and heritage that features something for everyone: dance, music, film and video, visual arts, martial arts demos, amateur sumo tournament, craft vendors, traditional displays, and of course, tons of scrumptious Japanese food.
PSF is the largest event of its kind in Canada and the longest running community arts festival in the Lower Mainland. We provide a much-needed venue for emerging and established, professional and amateur, and traditional and contemporary artists in the Japanese Canadian and Asian Canadian communities.

The festival is pretty much the same old shit. It hasn't really changed much since the 1980's. I'd say it's worth checking out if you've never been though.

I wish I had the time to take in the free shows at the Firehall. Wanted to take in the neighbourhood tour, but what the hell, it isn't like I don't know about the place.
Bon Festivals are much more interesting............
Oh, sumo wrestling tomorrow. Open to public to participate. LOL.
Someone report on the Takoyaki. Is it better than the ones from Night Market?

I hope so Night Market's Takoyaki sucks this year. Mine was only half cooked.

BTW, Spam sushi history can be traced back to Hawaii.
