In Japan, there is a festival called Tanabata on July 7th every year.
In other countries, it is called the Star festival.
Story about Tanabata
Tanabata is based on the legendary meeting of two stars, Hikoboshi and Orihime, which are represented by Altair and Vega, respectively.
After his marriage to Orihime, Hikoboshi idled away and didn’t work.
An angry god split Hikoboshi and Orihime apart from the two banks of the Milky Way.
However, the god permitted Hikoboshi and Orihime to reunite once a year on July 7.
So Tanabata is held on that day every year, and it is said to be the day when lovers can reunite.
