Why You Should Visit
A community-run festival held from morning to night at the Toyosato area of Yodogawa Riverside Park in Higashiyodogawa. Dance shows and taiko drumming fill the morning, the afternoon brings a folk-dance circle around the yagura tower that anyone can join, live music follows in the evening, and the finale is a roughly 30-minute fireworks show from 7pm with about 3,000 shells planned. Food booths and food trucks line the riverside grounds all day.
