Bon Odori

We were tired after our park adventure, but Saturday night was our neighborhoods Bon Odori festival.  It only a couple blocks from out house so we wanted to check it out.

Bon Odori is a Buddhist festival the where Japanese can honor their ancestors.  To me it seems like people get dressed up and eat from food vendors with lanterns hanging and bands and often drum performances.  Sometimes there is a dance.
