On Saturday, we went to our local spring festival in town. I expected to see one nice group of people who we don't know well but we have seen at the festival for the past 3 years.

There were many people and food vendors.

It was a perfect day for a picnic. We sat down under some cherry blossom trees and had lunch while we waited for the highlight of the festival to come, the princess parade.

The parade re-enacts the traveling of the nobles and ladies of the Imperial Court during the Edo Period (1603-1868). First, the female servants came by ahead of the princess.

The picture below is of the princess this year.

Unfortunately we couldn't see the group of friends this year. I hope I will see them next year.
