Ryotsu Tanabata Matsuri and Kawabiraki両津七夕まつり・川開き
The Tanabata Matsuri and Kawabiraki festival is a combination of two celebrations: the Star Festival for children and the opening of Ryotsu Port. The festival dates back to 1898, when it was first held to commemorate the listing of Ebisu Port as one of the top seven ports in Japan. The festival features a variety of events such as a brass band parade, a children's float parade, a folk song and dance procession, and demonstrations of Ondeko (masked deity dance). The festival concludes with a spectacular fireworks display.
