Eisa Festival- an Okinawa thing

The Eisa (pronounced ay-sa) festival is an annual event held in September. Eisa Groups are formed according to geographical locations. So each town or area will have an Eisa group. You can here them practicing until about 10pm most every night for 2 or 3 months leading up to the festival. They drum, they dance, they play the sanshin and sing. They drink. They eat.

Corn dogs, corn on a stick, chicken on a stick, and lots of other yummy treats.
