A test lighting was held on the night of the 14th, before the "SENDAI Pageant of Starlight", which colors the zelkova trees in the center of Sendai city with about 600,000 LED bulbs, will start this week.
The "SENDAI Pageant of Starlight", which colors the winter nights of Sendai, will be the 35th time, and the period will be extended from the usual year to come from the 18th of this month in order to have people visit in a distributed manner to prevent infection with the new coronavirus. It will be held until the 11th of March.
On the 14th, which was the 4th until the event, a test lighting was carried out at the zelkova trees on Jozenji-dori in Aoba Ward while the snow was fluttering, and when the light bulbs turned on all at once at 7 pm, the walking people put their feet on their feet. I enjoyed the illuminations by stopping and watching and taking pictures.
In addition, members of the executive committee and others were checking whether the light bulbs were on properly and whether they were in a crowded state when they were turned on.
In order to avoid crowding at the venue, we have decided to cancel events such as lighting ceremonies and parades.
* Chairman Susumu Takahashi of the SENDAI Pageant of Starlight Executive Committee said, "I was worried whether this could be held, but I'm glad that the test lights were on. After taking measures against infection, I saw the pageant and made everyone smile. I want you to be. "
