Japanese bumble bee Halloween costumes @ the annual parade in Kawasaki

If you happen to be in Japan for Halloween this year (or any year), and you are in or near Tokyo, you may want to check out the festivities in Kawasaki just south of Tokyo. Here is a schedule of this year’s events (most happening on the Saturday night and Sunday before Halloween). There isn’t much besides decorations outside of these events in Kawasaki with regard to Halloween in Japan. No trick or treating and the costume parties are few and far between.

Japanese females in Halloween costumes

Today’s photo is from the 2011 Ashland, Oregon Halloween Parade. I think these two girls are Japanese students at SOU this year. I’ll be posting (and have posted) many more photos from Halloween (we had great weather and there were some stellar costumes this year) on my other blog which you can find here.

Took a little trip this past weekend to Portland, Oregon. This guy was showing off his wares at the Portland Farmers Market on the Portland State University campus on Saturday morning.

2009 Kawasaki, Japan Halloween Parade float

Kawasaki is doing their annual Halloween festivities again this year. The spots for parade participants has been filled for a while now (only the first 3,500 to sign up can participate), but you can still go watch. Since Halloween isn’t a holiday in Japan, the parade will take place during the afternoon of October 30.
