Costumed performers dance through the streets of Fukuoka at the Hakata Dontaku Port Festival, which is holding a parade for the first time in three years. Even though the festival has been scaled back because of the pandemic, about 400,000 people attended the first day of the event Tuesday, about 40% of the figure in a normal year.
