There are many festivals which are very famous nationwide and there are three big one in Kyoto(京都). Today is one of them. It is called Aoi matsuri (葵祭), Hollyhock festival. It is the festival of 2 shrines, Kyoto Shimogamo Jinja (京都下鴨神社) and Kamigamo Jinja (上賀茂神社). Since ancient times, if you say a festival, it has meant the Aoi festival.
The other two are Gion matsuri (祇園祭), Gion festival in July 17 to 24 for Yasaka Jinja (八坂神社), Yasaka shrine, and Jidai matsuri (時代祭), The Ages festival in October 22 for Heian Jingu (平安神宮), Heian Shrine.
Unfortunately I have never seen any of them though I have been to Kyoto around those times.
I hope to see them someday.
