Daigyoretsu Pageant
The "Dai-gyoretsu" parade through town during the first day featuring Ohayashi Yatai, Tobigashira Kiyari, Binzasara-mai and Shirasagino Mai, and are especially popular among over-sea visitors.

What you especially don't want to miss is Binzasara-mai, Tokyo's intangible cultural asset only seen today at the Sanja Matsuri. Clad in fancy outfits, you cannot miss the men walking with their Binzasara (musical instrument made with many thin pieces of wood) praying for good harvest.
