If you've been following VegOut Tokyo since last summer, you'll know I'm a big fan of Yoyogi park and the weekend culture festivals that are held there in the warmer months. They're a fun, cheap way to get outside and spend a summer afternoon. While the vegetarian friendliness varies from week to week, you'll always find a relaxed atmosphere with Tokyoites enjoying their food and drink out on picnic tables and leisure sheets.
Online English information about the schedule tends to be limited, so here's a rough translation of what's available in Japanese from this blog.
Yoyogi Park event schedule for May 2012
May 12th (Sat) - 13th (Sun): Thai Festival in the event area
May 12th (Sat): zombie walking in Yoyogi Park
May 16th (Wed): NICO Touches the Walls - free concert at the stage in the event area
May 19th (Sat) - 20th (Sun): One Love Jamaica Festival in the event area
May 20th (Sun): the 15th Kagoshima Ohara Honmatsuri at Dogenzaka Bunkamura-dori
May 26th (Sat) - 27th (Sun): Laos Festival in the event area
