The festival's opening ceremony is packed with Japanese cultural performances such as sword dances by Futago Onikenbai and music by pop singer Ayaka Hirahara. Families are invited to splash party Pink in the Pool this Saturday-registration required- at Long Bridge Aquatics Center. Kids can eat Japanese snacks, taste tea, and make origami.

According to new research by OpenTable, outdoor dining reigns supreme during summer months in other metropolises, too, including Austin, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
