    I plan on visiting Yokosuka in a time period when there is an Open Base day.  Does anyone know if there is an open base day in April, May, June or July?  I lived at Yokosuka Navy Base from 1985-88 and loved every minute I was there. 

    Thank you,

    Connie

    What about the 4th. of July.  I remember when I lived there the base put on a big fireworks display.  I seem to remember the 4th. was an open base day.

    Thanks, I will keep in touch.  I've written to several other sources with the same question but haven't gotten any response as yet.  Have a great vacation.  I hope you are somewhere warm.  Snowy and cold here in Indiana.

    Do you live on base? I lived in the former 3 story Marine barracks that sat right next to Sullivan's School. It was made into apartments after the Marines moved into their new place. It took my son 3 minutes to get to class. I understand it was torn down and replaced with another tower style building. Still no response from anyone else concerning the 4th. of July.
    Have a good flight back.

    Open Dates Vary.

    MWR doesnt release a long list of open base events scheduled for the year.

    https://www.cnic.navy.mil/Yokosuka/MWR/MoviesEntertainmentSpecialEvents/index.htm

    I would think they could use another tab under Special Events labeled "OPEN BASE EVENTS"

    The reason is this. For 1, I see all the google results, and tailor JB to capture that traffic. I cant tell you how many people search for open base events, when the events get close. So there are definitely people looking for that info, its just HARD TO FIND!

    I dont know why anyone has not responded to this in over a week. I havent been on JB in a while myself.

    Yes, they do have a 4th of July event.

    Here was 2009 Pictures:
    http://www.japanbases.com/community...3-326.aspx

    We didnt have any pictures posted for 2010.
    You can check the rest of the event pictures here:
    http://www.japanbases.com/community...3-894.aspx

    Normally, you have the following events open base.

    - Mikoshi Day Parade
    - 4th of JULY Event
    - Friendship Day
    - Yokosuka Spring Festival (Cherry Blossom)
    - Sometimes a Christmas Event - Didnt happen last year (was canceled) for Yokosuka

    I dont know the specific dates, and dont think there is anything going on for August. Your best bet is July.

    Its a pretty good time. You can look at the 2009 event pictures above from the Independence Day.

    Good Luck.
