The Special Fair of Ome Plum Blossom Festival 観梅市民まつり

Baigo, Ome City, Tokyo
2024-3-10

Note: The 2024 installment of this event has already taken place.

This festival is held from 10:00 to 16:00 on a Sunday in early March, the peak season for Japanese plum blossoms. It takes place in Yoshino Baigo, an area famous for the flowers—specifically, on a road called Jindaibashi-dori, near Hinatawada Station.
In addition to enjoying traditional hayashi performances (local music performed on traditional Japanese instruments) and lion dances, you will also have a chance to see a parade featuring Tokyo Metropolitan police officers on distinctive shirobai police motorbikes, adorable mascot characters from the region, as well as samurai warriors wearing handmade helmets and armor. Other attractions include the lively Koenji Awa Odori dance, organized by Suginami City.
The many stalls sell an assortment of enticing products. You can also pair your trip to the festival with a visit to nearby plum blossom sites like Ume-no-koen Park or the farms of Nakamichi for a full day's entertainment.
