Awa Odori sign at Mitaka Station's south exit. I went to see the 42nd Mitaka Awa Odori dance on Aug. 23, 2009. Mitaka's awa odori is held on the third Sat/Sun. of Aug. It started in 1968.
mt101-20090823_4969.jpg
One of the starting points of the awa odori parade along Mitaka Ginza road. Some 30 awa odori dance troupes, called "ren" (連), participated in the dance parade. Many of them were local troupes from Mitaka.
mt102-20090823_4972.jpg
On the first day, the dancing is held from 6 pm to 9 pm. (Opening ceremony at 5:30 pm.) On the second day, it is from 6 pm to 8:40 pm.
mt103-20090823_4974.jpg
This is the main shopping street with cobblestones on the south side of Mitaka Station. It wasn't so crowded.
mt104-20090823_4979.jpg
At 6 pm, the awa odori started. The first dancers here were the Mitaka Ginza-ren. みたか銀座連

The road is not very long, and if you stay put, you will be able to see each troupe at least twice since they parade through the street more than once.
