[Ueno] Latin and Caribbean music in Ueno and Yoyogi this October: a free outdoor festival
Overview
This October, an outdoor festival themed around Latin and Caribbean music will be held at 2 venues, one in Ueno and one in Yoyogi. Music festivals rarely run in 2 popular Tokyo neighborhoods around the same time, so you may be able to catch both.
Latin and Caribbean music is loved for its passionate rhythms and upbeat melodies. Live music outdoors is part of what makes an open-air festival special. Admission is free and there's no need to book or pay ahead, so it's easy to drop by. Music fans will enjoy it, and it's also easy to stop by on a walk or day out even if you don't usually go to music festivals.
October is a great month for getting outdoors. Why not spend some time with live music in Ueno or Yoyogi?
