Matsushima Park Festival This Weekend

    Matsushima Park Festival returns for its fifth year this weekend, Saturday May 25th and Sunday May 26th in the area around Matsushima-Kaigan station on the Senseki line (410 yen from Sendai, 42 minutes by local train).

    Once again, bands will take up each of these stages along the coast, giving live gigs to the waiting crowds who wander from venue to venue. On Sunday there is something of a stamp rally though the website is still a little fuzzy on the details.

    The park near the coast has finally been renovated and will make a good addition to the setup for this event and many others to come.

    If you're into free live music and fun for he whole family, Matsushima is the place to be this weekend.
