We could see the kites flying well before we got to the area:
Here I am in front of one of the kites:
And here are some of the friends that joined us:
Here is Ayako with Yoko:
In the next few photos, you can see some of the groups with their areas' flags and them flying their kites:
In was quite windy and so the kites were getting tangled more often than I've seen before:
In the video below, you can here the bugles that are played and you can see some groups together trying to keep their kites up in the air while trying to untangle them:
After, we headed downtown for the international food festival
Ayako and I didn't stay to watch parade of floats this year since we had free tickets to go see a movie. We saw Alice in Wonderland, which I thought was alright, although I still don't like wearing the 3D glasses. After the movie, we were able to get a close up look at one of the floats (yatai) all lit up at night:
