湘南ひらつか七夕まつり

The Shonan Hiratsuka Tanabata Festival is always a major Tanabata celebration in the Kanto region, and while COVID-19 means the 2021 festival will be a downsized event, this year the pandemic won't be canceling Tanabata altogether. The parades and food stalls will be gone, but the colorful festival decorations will still be up for all to enjoy! Hiratsuka is planning on putting off the festival's special 70th-anniversary celebration until 2022, so don't forget to check back again next year.
