Today’s Summer Festival is the Danjo District Summer Festival with over 20 stalls plus our report from yesterday

Today, Sunday, August 18, Nishinomiya’s summer festival is the “Danjō District Summer Festival.” It’s being held on the grounds of Danjō Elementary School.

Here’s the poster↓

It starts at 18:00. There will also be Bon odori dancing today!

Here’s a quick list of what kinds of stalls will be there! Sorry if I missed anything

Counting them up, there are 24 stalls, but there were multiple places selling things like juice and super balls, so I think there are even more.

With that said,

we’ll also share a report from yesterday, Saturday, August 17, including what the atmosphere was like~

That over there is Danjō Elementary School.

The sign is seriously lit up lol

And here we are at the main gate~

You don’t usually see an elementary school at night, and the lanterns give it an otherworldly feel.

Oh! Is it getting lively?!

It was 19:00. The temperature had cooled down too~

It’s crowded around the stalls. Let’s take a look at what they had~

What kind of stall do you think this is~? You can pick up to three, but take home one.

It’s yo-yo fishing~~~. The price is 50 yen. So cheap~

Whoa! Look at all that ice!!! These drinks are ice-cold.

Here’s the drink lineup~. Green tea, Aquarius, Calpis Water, Fanta Grape, Coca-Cola, Salty Lychee, and more

The price is 100 yen. Maybe this is the Co-op along Nakatsuhama Line.

Whoa. Ebisen, Tabekko Doubutsu, Guppy Ramune, Umaibo, and more. What could this be?

It’s candy fishing~~! I wonder if they caught the snack they were aiming for~. 100 yen per try.

They even had tasty, fresh vegetables. The handwritten sign has a nice feel~

The boys were calling out energetically, like, “How about some vegetables~?” They were also selling items from Sazae, the shop along Route 171~

Yakitori was 80 yen per skewer. Another great deal~

Mölkky, which you hear about a lot lately. Apparently they had some nice prizes!

The Mölkky booth was also run by a boy, and he was doing a great job keeping it fun and lively~~~. Kids these days are amazing~

There wasn’t Bon odori dancing today, but they’ll have it tomorrow~

They also had cute cookies like these.

Even the shop name is cute: “こぶたのキッチン” (Kobuta no Kitchen). Pumpkin cheesecake was 300 yen. Baked sweet potato sweets were 300 yen. Cookies and rusks were 200 yen! Nice that you can try all kinds of things~

“星を観る会” (Star Viewing Group) feels a bit unusual~

Things like this are fun~. The Danjō area does feel like a place where the stars are easy to see.

Takosen was 50 yen each. This was cheap too, which is great~~

We found a spot with quite a line. At the front was~

the struck-out target game~. It’s the one where you throw balls at numbered targets and try to hit them. 50 yen per try.

Frankfurters were 150 yen~. They sold out fairly early.

There was a huge line for yakisoba too, but since they had some ready-made, you might have been able to buy it pretty smoothly.

It looked like you needed a numbered ticket to buy cotton candy.
