On August 25, 2013, the festival takes place when large numbers of lanterns are put onto a river.

"ぼんぼり祭は、毎年8月に立秋の前日から9日までの3日間(年により4日間)行われる、鎌倉の夏の風物詩ともいえるお祭です。"

立秋 is the 7th this year.

tokyonet, you are referring to the Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura. Am I missing something?

Hi everyone - thanks for your replies - much appreciated - it was not the lantern festival in Kamakura - but good to know about this one - but the one at Eiheji temple itself near Fukui - so the date of the 25th August 2013 posted by Uji is the one I was looking for.
