In Tokushima City, where the summer Awa Odori was canceled due to the influence of the new coronavirus, an event to enjoy dancing in the downtown area was held after implementing infection control measures.

This "Awa MATSURI" was planned in the downtown area by a group made at restaurants in Tokushima City to regain its vitality, and the temperature was measured and disinfected at the entrance of the venue, and the staff also wore masks and gloves for infection. Thorough measures were taken.

Then, on the special stage, dancers from various groups called "Ren" performed a passionate dance at regular intervals while a unique musical accompaniment called "Zomeki" rang. ..

The Awa Odori in Tokushima City, which is held every August for four days, has been canceled due to the effects of the new coronavirus, and no major events have been held since then.

Under these circumstances, the spectators enjoyed the atmosphere of the festival, such as sitting at the surrounding tables and enjoying the meals at the store while dancing.

A man in his thirties in Tokushima City who visited said, "I came to show my child the Awa Odori. It's exciting and fun."

Yoshinori Nakatani, the representative of the "Tokushima City Restaurant Corona Countermeasures Council", said, "The Awa Odori was canceled and the downtown area was not well. We will continue the event and have more people participate. I want to improve the environment like this. "
