Biggest Dance Festival in Japan

Night has come and people take to the streets again. Light rain is ignored by most and dancers parade down the streets. Multiple events are being held across the city, dancers wait and practice whilst onlookers walk around enjoying the night.

Open parades are still active on the main streets and the crowds join the dancers. They mix and mingle in the light rain.

Musical dance groups give great performances filled with energy and crowd moving beats

Many dancers have been dancing all day, they rest together in groups and enjoy drinks and foods from the stalls and from home. Many of the local schools join the festival, they practice for months, they dress up and form their own dance groups and sometimes compete.

Thanks for viewing, my posts are about the journey, the process and showing my experiences. Where there are a lack of words I like my work to speak for its self. Don't hesitate to ask questions.

Dancing at night, even... That's one heck of a festival! I bet the people watching is spectacular during that :-)

Yeah there's loads of interesting people, loads in costume and traditional garb
