Tanabata & Bon Odori Festival

I participated in a Tanabata (Star Festival in July seven) & Bon Odori Festival yesterday. The event was hosted by the Japan Societyof Fairfield County of Connecticut. I always enjoy this festival. Yesterday, one of my students who lives in CT joined and a lady who originally comes from Okinawa and lives in that neighborhood also joined. It was full of joy and surprise.
A few showers dropped during Hanagasa Ondo odori, but the rain stopped quickly. 

Here are some photos from the event.
