Tateyama District, August 1-2.
Tateyama Matsuri is sprawling and kaleidoscopic. You will want to be everywhere at once. 13 districts, with their 8 shrines and 15 gods, parade 7 mikoshi and 6 floats up and down their own neighborhoods and in and around Tateyama Shrine.

August 8, ~7:30-8:45 p.m., Hojo Beach near Tateyama Station. (Rain date: August 9 or August 10)
10,000 fireworks, in almost as many variations and combinations, fill the sky in a “starmine”-style continuous display.

August 20-22. Sunosaki Shrine.
