Firework Festival Part 1

Every year they have a summer festival, us Americans refer to as the Fireworks festival, down at the Kintai bridge. They have lots of food vendors, a drum ceremony, a Miss Iwakuni pageant, and then an hour and a half of fireworks. We started a tradition last year of going with our Japanese friend Masa. We started at the bridge this year, went to Masa’s for snacks, back to the bridge for the fireworks, then back to his house for more food and drinks. Luckily he lives within walking distance so we got to beat all the traffic. This is part 1 of the pictures. Didn’t want to overload ya’ll! :)
