Was lucky to arrive in Hakodate to find out that it is the start of a 5-day Hakodate Port Festival, which apparently is one of the bigger summer festivals in Hakodate. Fireworks signal the start of the festival.

Lots of the local ladies in their traditional dress during the festivities

Spectators gathering and taking the best seats for the coming parade
