Summer festivals!!! Yay, yay!

How is everyone this afternoon? Did any of you go to the Tenjin matsuri last night and see some fireworks? Wear yukatas? Well, nope, I didn't go but I have gone a couple of times before. I love eating the festival foods and seeing the fireworks. I even have worn a yukata once--that was fun too! What do you guys like doing at festivals? Do you guys have a favorite festival you like going to?
I would really love to see the danjiri festival--its sounds exciting and dangerous, as well. One of the best festivals I ever went to was the Sagicho festival (さぎちょ祭り) in Ohmi-hachiman, Shiga-ken. It was exciting! A lot of my good friends were there, and at some point in the evening, all my foreign friends started to carry one of the shrines. At the end of festival, they burn all the portable shrines or mikoshi. So much fun it was! You can learn more about it here.
