Tonami Yotaka Festival砺波夜高祭
The Tonami Yodaka Festival is a celebration of the harvest, and also known as a lantern-fight festival. Large lanterns, up to 6 meters in height, and small lanterns made primarily of bamboo, Japanese paper and dyes, are paraded through the streets, with young people and children cheering them on. On the first day of the festival, the main lantern floats are gathered on Honmachi Boulevard and compete for elegance. The festival reaches its climax with the spectacular tsukiawase collisions between the large lantern floats.
