On April 27 & 28, 2019, the CEI participated in the Japan Festival Boston 2019 held on the Boston Common. Members and friends of the organization decorated our booth with pictures, Japanese Emas (which are wooden plaques where people can write their wishes on), and handouts about both the Mino Boston Exchange Program 2019 and the City of Mino. Japanese language students from Showa Boston and their friends also came to help, leading to a smooth operation of our booth overall. The Shori Kubrick, the band including CEI members (Jackie as vocals/guitar and Philip as keyboard) played live J-POP music on both days; this attracted many people to our booth. This performance was featured in the Japan Festival Boston 2019 official site. Over 67,000 visitors came to the festival. It was a very nice way to kick off the Mino Boston Exchange Program 2019.
