Misawa Summer Festival

~ Adam

This weekend is the Misawa Summer Festival. This happens at the end of August every year and this is the 99th year of this festival. Cities from all around make floats which are pulled through the streets. It’s hard to describe so I’ll post pictures and videos!

Gotta get festival food! This is okonomiyaki, or Japanese pancakes. We topped ours with Japanese mayo. Mmm..
Here’s one of the floats. See how ornate they are?
Close up.
Participants in the parade are all dressed up. Many of the floats represented Japanese folktales.
Here’s a dragon!
Biting children’s heads? Stay weird Japan, we love you for it.
