When is this year's ninja festival?

I have heard of a ninja festival in Tokyo but could not find any information about it. Anyone who has an idea?

Edit: Here is a link to an article about the Iga Ninja Festa, a well known Ninja Festival. This is a bit far for those who live around Tokyo, though.

There are any ninja festivals in Japan, and I am sure there is more than one in Tokyo. The one at Tokyo Sky Tree is on the 27th (this Saturday).

Wow, Tokyo Sky Tree ninja festival sounds like a lot of fun :) Too bad the link is in Japanese. It would be interesting to read about the event in English :(

Ninja festivals are events that include performances inspired by Ninjas. The largest and best known Ninja Festival is held in Iga, western Japan. Some festivals include lessons for Ninja skills (like throwing those round objects).
