This festival is for giving thanks to one’s ancestors and fallen soldiers. It is lit by walls of carefully painted lanterns, all 6,000 of which are donated by the worshippers. The stage will showcase Japanese drumming, gospel singing and more. There will also be a flea market, and stalls selling yummy festival food!
