Review (photos) of Stamford Sakura Matsuri

Today's weather was perfectly fine for Kimono dressing. 
Kimono dressing booth was so popular and busy but I enjoyed dressing girls in kimono. 
Here are some photos from today's event.












After the festival, we went to Azuka Italian restaurant
across from Mill River Park.
 Excellent food!
