Bored? Just sitting around the house this weekend? Well, why not check out what's going on in your town, people of Chicago! This weekend is the Ginza Festival, a three-day celebration of Japanese culture that includes judo, taiko and of course, cosplay.

Check out the official Ginza Festival website for details on all the events going on, which include crafts and street vendors. If you can make your way down to Historic Old Town Chicago, then be sure to check out all the sights to behold and let us know what's going on.

And remember, Windy City: We love you too. It isn't all New York and LA here at Japanator.
