This weekend was the cherry blossom festival at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. Aside from viewing the beautiful cherry blossoms they had performances by traditional and j-pop artists, plus they had all sorts of Manga and Lolita stuff going on. I was fortunate enough to walk in at the time the flower hat dance was going on, with lovely ladies and gents dress in bright orange yukatas performing a festive song and dance about corn (I was told). Since I was there to primarily shoot anyone walking around in costumes I made sure I hit the manga area, and the Parasol Society parade, in which Lolitas walk around the park and into the Osborne garden. At the Osborne garden there was a band leading them in song and dance with the band leader from Happyfunsmile in a fun pink costume really getting everyone excited with her insane energy.
