"Kyoto Tanabata in Uji", an event held in conjunction with Tanabata on the old calendar, began on August 2, 2024 around Kyoto Prefectural Uji Park in Uji, Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture. Bridges, power plants, tourist facilities, etc. are lit up in purple, inspired by Murasaki Shikibu, creating a fantastic atmosphere in the dark night. It will run until August 4.
