Toyota City Confetti Festival

I spent Sunday afternoon being showered by confetti at a festival in Toyota city intended to keep evil spirits away.The concept of the festival is that each section of the city has a float, they begin with drum performances in front of the floats after which snacks are tossed from the floats before they depart along the parade route. Throughout these events large amounts of confetti are tossed into the crowds.

The floats are human powered, with large groups of people including small children helping out.
