*This is my very first attempt at hosting a Loli Gathering, so bear with me*
What: Tanabata (Star Festival)
Where: Downtown Naperville
When: July 7th (or July 10th)
Who: LOLITA'S!
July 7th is Tanabata (alos known as the Star Festival) a holiday famous in Japan.
Info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanabata
I though this is such a fun custom and holiday I though that we could have a Lolita Gathering in my hometown: Naperville.
Here is my plan: We start either at the very beginning of the river walk or close enough and walk down the riverwalk (while taking a gazillion pictures), then we will go right through the middle of downtown Naperville and stop at the candy store, then we continue to the riverwalk and at the end of it (by Centennial Beach and a skatepark) is a gorgeous opening of space that is perfect for a picnic. After our picnic we can celebrate Tanabata and hang up our wishes on the trees surrounding us! What I love the most is that most of the girls wear Yukatas, and I know that many Loli's have Yukatas! (and if you don't it doesnt matter~~ just have fun!)
Here is the Map on How the route would go (it followed the streets although we would be walkign along the river) : maps.google.com/maps
Poll What Day Should We Have The Tanabata Meet-Up?So I think this sounds like a lot of fun!! I really hope it all works out!!!
