Believe it or not Nobunaga participated in the Gion Matsuri in 1578. At the moment, Kyoto is in the middle stages of celebrating the festival.
The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 286)
"Tiger, Sixth Month, 14th day: Nobunaga watched the Gion Festival. He had told his horse guards and pages that there was no need for bows, spears, halberds, or other hand weapons, so they carried none. After viewing the festival, he gave leave to his life guards and went hawking straight away with ten pages."
Tenka no tame!
