While it consists of countless smaller events, the most visually stunning are the two grand processions of floats (Yamaboko Junko) on July 17th and 24th. In 2009 the procession won recognition as a UNESCO cultural World Heritage event.During the days leading up to the Gion Festival’s processions, visitors can watch the gigantic float structures being built and adorned with treasures. Wandering the streets rewards us with cultural riches displayed at the floats and in private homes.
