Tokyo Thingyan Festival

Thingyan, Myanmar's Buddhist New Year festival, is a chance for Tokyo's vibrant Burmese community to wow the city with deliciously spicy grub, traditional dance and music performances and colourful crafts in Hibiya Park. Although the water-throwing that usually accompanies Thingyan celebrations isn't included on the programme (with these temperatures, we fully understand why), you can still look forward to an electric atmosphere and plenty of smiles.
