So was the Obon Festival worth going to? I'm thinking of hitting the Mountain View one this weekend, but if the SJ one was just "okay", I'll pass on the MV one. (Ugh, parking!)

Thanks!

it really depends on what you look for as "entertainment"

again the terms of "stuff" there is usually a combination of the following:

Taiko Drum performances,  Live music and Dance Performances,

LOTS of food [possibly over priced] , flower, crafts, and monk panels

Kids area with lots of ridiculously hard carnival games

so basically it really depends who you go with and what your expectations are.

Personally i had fun, because im a cosplay dork like that.
