Tanabata is the Star Festival held on July 7th.
It is based on a Chinese legend in which Altar(the star of the herdsman) and Vega(the star of the weaver-princess), though separated on opposite side of the Milky Way, meet once a year on this day.
The reason why they were separated is that Vega was so lovesick for Altair she neglected her weaving and the God put the Milky Way between them.
Children write their wishes on strips of fancy paper, which they put on displays made of the branches of bamboo trees.
