Ueno's natsu matsuri kicks off for real with a parade down the area's central street on July 19, while the rest of the event period includes happenings like the picturesque toro nagashi ceremony, in which paper lanterns are floated on Shinobazu Pond. There will be market stalls in the park throughout the four weeks of the festival selling antiques, potted plants and more, while doubtlessly short-lived ice sculptures will also be on display.
