This past weekend saw a packed schedule of events throughout the prefecture. From the Gourmet Food Festival to the Kanazawa Hyakumangoku Festival, and in Wajima, the Wajima Citizens' Festival was held, featuring a beloved character for both adults and children, making their first appearance in 12 years. The Kanazawa Hyakumangoku Festival, a vibrant celebration of early summer in the castle town of Kanazawa, featured actress Yuka Sugai as Lady Omatsu in the Hyakumangoku procession on the 6th. Shunsuke Daito as Lord Toshiie Maeda: "Let us depart!" Actor Shunsuke Daito played the role of Lord Toshiie Maeda. From Noto, the Kiriko float from the Tomiki district of Shiga town participated. The Kiriko float, over 7 meters tall, paraded through the city. Around the same time, the Wajima Citizens' Festival was held in Noto. Due to the effects of the earthquake and heavy rain, it was held on a reduced scale, similar to last year. The venue featured flight demonstrations by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's F-15 fighter jets and rescue helicopter demonstrations, thrilling the assembled crowd. And along the route, people were seen sitting on blankets… Reporter: "Who are you looking forward to seeing?" Child: "Mickey!" Their main attraction was the parade by Tokyo Disney Resort. A resident of nearby temporary housing said… Reporter: "Mickey is coming to cheer them on." Woman from temporary housing: "That's why everyone's lined up here. I didn't realize that." And then, finally… Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and other characters left Tokyo Disney Resort and gathered in Wajima City. This was the first parade in Wajima City in 12 years, since 2014. The "Jamboree Mickey!" dance performance saw local children joining in, creating a huge buzz at the venue. Visitor: "It was amazing! It's rare to see it this close, so I was more excited than the kids." A woman living in temporary housing who didn't know about the parade said... Woman living in temporary housing: "I saw it a long time ago when I went to Tokyo, but it wasn't this good. This is the best. I'm so happy, I could cry." A Duffy bus also made an appearance at the venue, and the Wajima Citizens' Festival was bustling with many people. It seems to have been a weekend filled with smiles that will give strength to reconstruction.
