• On October 19 - 20, 2002, this year's Kawagoe-matsuri Festival was done as one of activities of Kawagoe City's 80th anniversary. All 29 floats joined the festival. Ending time was extended one hour to 22:00. We have this kind of happy festival all over Japan. You may come to join us and you can enjoy it.

• Feudal loads encouraged this kind of festival in the old feudal age but anyway this kind of festival is very happy for us.

This town's float is "little fox." White fox dances in dark night.
Kawagoe festival's climax - collision and competition between floats. Two floats are coming.
Competition between floats of different rhythm. Lanterns wildly dance. And separate.
