Sekko Matsuri is a two day event held in Kasai every spring. A group of men bring a mikoshi down the street, with accompaniment of clackers and chanting. All the men wear a blue yukata. They will lift the yatai up and down, while moving around the area from the resting place of the shrine to the focal point of the event, where festival booths, other activities and a ceremony are held until the evening.
