By midday the festival moved toward the river. A narrow wooden bridge groaned as people crossed; children ran with painted faces, and elders ambled with walking sticks carved with tiny symbols.

Visitors wear noise-canceling headphones while standing on vibrating platforms that mimic the thrum of a kapok tree. It depends on what you do between now and then
