My town held a summer festival known as 'BONODORI' yesterday.

It took place from 6pm to 8pm.

After work, parents and their children came to the park to enjoy it and some were wearing Yukata, a traditional summer attire.

We prepared some entertainment, food, beverages, and gifts.

Some practiced dancing early for the festival.

The food my team made, including fried noodles, French fries, fried chicken, and sausages, was sold out immediately.

As it got darker, the atmosphere livened up even more as more people joined the celebration.

The highlight of the event was a traditional dance performed by many people.

People formed a big circle and danced with the music and the rhythm of a drum with a drummer placed in the middle of a huge circle.

At the end of the celebration, snacks were distributed to all the children.

We all enjoyed the BONODORI.
