How to enjoy a Bon Odori

Yukata: a light cotton summer kimono is welcome but not required. Wear comfortable summer clothes and shoes you can walk in.
Joining in: most events let anyone dance for free. Step into the outer ring of dancers, copy the people in front of you, and keep walking with the music. Many events start with a short lesson.
Food stalls: yatai sell grilled noodles, shaved ice, takoyaki and drinks. Bring cash, as many stalls do not take cards.
Rain: some events are held in light rain, many are cancelled in heavy rain or moved indoors. Check the organizer's page or social media on the day.
