We had a great time at the Okinawan taiko drumming fest aka. Orion Beer Fest. There were lots of drummers from different schools, clubs and towns.
And there were some crazy characters too.
There were kids and girls dressed in kimonos.
They also had fest foods (you know...fried everything, on a stick or in a cup, with beer or soda and you can't forget the cotton candy or snow cones!) 
The night came and it was time for the real party to begin. That was our cue and we started our walk back to the base.
It was fun, everyone had a good time. The girls played carnival games and won lots of prizes. I hung out and took lots of pictures. We won't hear the taiko drums played again. Our time here is nearing the end. It was good to get one more fest in until we leave.
