Natsu Musubi Free Festival '11

Now into its fifth year, Tokorozawa's gratis Natsu Musubi fest is still pretty much the only reason we can think of for going to Tokorozawa (sorry, Seibu Lions). Acts to watch out for at this year's event include jazzy alt. hip-hop group Gagle and the righteously funky Mountain Mocha Kilimanjaro. The lineup earlier in the day looks a little less essential though be warned that entry is on a strictly first-come, first-served basis, so if you turn up too late you might not get in.
