The 72nd Shonan Hiratsuka Tanabata Festival (第72回湘南ひらつか七夕まつり)
The city of Hiratsuka is currently holding the 72nd Shonan Hiratsuka Tanabata Festival (第72回湘南ひらつか七夕まつり) from July 5-7. This festival is one of Japan's three major Tanabata festivals, alongside those in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, and Ichinomiya, Aichi Prefecture.
Originating as a post-war commercial revitalization initiative, numerous Tanabata decorations adorn the streets of downtown Hiratsuka.
