This past weekend was the Honolulu Festival, an international scale "Omatsuri" Japan style complete with Mikoshi and Nebuta! The finale is the 2 hour parade with over 40 groups and fireworls from Nagaoka. Enjoy the pictures. (^^)

No parade in Hawaii is complete without the Chinese dragon dance! |

This was the biggest group from a high school in Japan! The line was loooong! |

Then fun part of the parade is that all sorts of groups get to do their thing! |
