On Saturday, our own little town had its summer festival - the Awa Odori. This is a dance that is native to Tokushima prefecture but was brought to Susono years ago (more information on the Awa Odori can be found here).
Brian and I went to the festival and spent several hours walking around, drinking beer and watching the dancers.
A dancer in Susono, before the sun set.
More Awa-odori performers - between dances.
A tako-yaki (grilled octopus) stand - these and other snacks are an integral part of any summer festival.
Another food stand - this one is selling yaki-tori (grilled chicken kebabs) and other treats.
Notice the pachinko parlor in the background.
This picture shows just how crowded our very small city can actually be.
