To have 50 or more participants in Bon Odori open house rehearsal to learn and practice Bon Odori (dance) with the local dance group. To have 10,000 attendance or more and to have entertainment by ten different groups including a few new ones for Obon Festival. We will evaluate the attendance count of the Bon Odori (dance) rehearsal and the attendance of the festival. Also, we will have an attendance survey for the overall festival attendance.
For Bon Odori (dance) audience participation segment, usually people make a circle in front of the stage and dance. For this year, there were so many participants, they had to make the circle around the stage to do the dance. It was wonderful to see people in a wheelchair participating in the dance as well. Also, there are so many pictures of the festival on SNS with very positive feedback.
