On Saturday, June 19, the yearly Japanese Cultural Fair will take place again from 11 am to 6 pm on Mission Plaza. "We believe that through the arts, craft, and culture of Japan, we can improve mutual understanding among neighbors on the Pacific Rim as well as enrich our community life here in Santa Cruz" states the Fair's website. I'm looking forward to San Francisco Taiko Dojo, and Marianne's Green Tea Ice Cream!For something completely different (or maybe not, looking at the Japanese lady's hat): This weekend also brings us the "Central Coast Crazy Hat Days," a fundraiser organized by Mountain Parks Foundation in co-operation with California State Parks. I've never been there, nor do I own a crazy hat, but it looks like so much fun I might be tempted to throw myself into the crowd inexperienced and hatless. For more information check out the events page of the Mountain Parks Foundation. The Mercury News' offers images from previous years and links to performing artists.
