Time Out says

The Tenjin Matsuri is one of the biggest traditional festivals in Japan, dating back over 1,000 years. It takes place annually in July over two days, with the main events happening on the second day. The festivities culminate with a vibrant parade of mikoshi (portable shrines) carried by devotees in elaborate costumes. The procession starts at 3.30pm on July 25 at the historical Tenmangu Shrine before arriving at the Okawa River. It then continues on boats from around 6pm, accompanied by fireworks over the water.
