Last weekend the Dedara festival was held in Musashimurayama. The weather at Dedara was same as on previous years, rainy. On Saturday the rain started later on night, so we could enjoy almost whole visit to festival on dry weather, just when the parade of figures and dancers was ending the rain started. There was all kind of shows on the festival, dancing, eating competition etc. and of course various kind of foodstand. Here are some pictures from the Dedara.
The area was crowded with people. This man's meat skewers were one of the best I have eaten. Of course I ate also yakisoba and it was good. Those long things in the cups are sweet potatos coated with sugar. First time I eat like those and they were really good. This year there was also older men dancing in parade. The nearest one had also flower on his head. Sorry can't see it so well in this picture. This year there wasen't many new figures on the parade, so here are just few pictures. This was made by high school students. Atom was new this year. To the end, few old once.
