Ube Festival

The Ube Festival is massive and is a lot of fun. The street parades were great with fantastic costumes and dancing from many local groups.

Teresa and Oka san didnt think I'd get up in time, but I made it out of bed!
Speidel san and Oka san (now suffering from blisters!)

I'm not sure if this guy was meant to be in the festival or if he was just hungover from the night before, but I liked his style.... Maybe his inspiration came from a Friday night out in a university town in the UK?

The dragon parade was also cool...

This is just one group of dancers - there were literally 100's...
