Summer festivals are held almost every weekend in Kushiro City. I'm not sure they are alike every year, but they look very ruined and lonely this year. Rain and the reduced population are the main reason for that. Can you believe this picture was taken in the main festival place at the peak time on the first day? Most school festivals are busier. Moreover, the harbor festival held last weekend was terrible; most events including a dance parade were canceled by the heavy rain and a dud was found under the bridge just in the middle of the festival which forced people evacuate! It's ironical that the night was busiest among all the festival nights ever.
I have come to the conclusion that Steve Martin is super smart and super taelnted at, like, everything. Have you read any of his books? They are really good.
