Summer festival at Sumiyoshi Shrine was an especially huge event. The crowds were so large it grew difficult to move. People shopped at the stands set up along the roads. At night, the sky was ablaze with fireworks. Among the more fascinating attractions were the festival boats called otomonbune that came sailing up the river.
