Mikoshi Summer Festival

August 7-9, 2009

After Abigail’s party we went to the park close to our house for the Summer Festival.

The Festival is held every summer and the residence of our neighborhood bring a protable Mikoshi Shrine to the elderly so they can worship.
On Friday night the Mikoshi Shrine is taken to the local shrine in the park to receive the god.

On Saturday the shrine was taken to one side of the park neighborhood and Sunday the other side. There is a small shrine that is pulled by the children.
David and Dawson participated. David was only able to carry for a few roads because of his knee. Dawson pulled the little one for a short distance. He wanted to walk with Abby and Momma.
It was an interesting experience.
