Here is a schedule I found today, I hope it gets updated but if not I'll check some other sites and try to update this thread myself. http://gmap.jp/shop-6394.html May 16-17 Thai Festival : http://www.thaifestival.net/ Tue May 12 00:46:20 -0700 2009 101545 lost squirrel 1 4676392 Thanks, it's really hard to keep track of what's going on in that park. You'd think Shibuya-ku would have a website, but apparently not.
