Japanese festival wearing?

Question

i'm going to a japanese festival in japantown, so i was wondering, am i suppose to wear a yukata or kimono? or i can just wear anything i want?

Answer 1

"yukata" is better. But, whatever you want.

Answer 2

Since its the Summer, most people would wear a yukata. A kimono is to heavy and hot to wear in this weather and people don't wear them during Summer festivals. It's perfectly fine to wear your normal clothes though :]. I've been to the Bon Festival recently and I wore a yukata to be more traditional as I'm Japanese but I saw many people, Japanese and non-Japanese alike not wearing traditional clothing but rather their day-to-day clothes. Just wear what you feel most comfortable in.

Hope I helped and have fun at the festival <3

Answer 3

yukata is what most people wear to festivals and firework displays

Answer 4
