I still attend festivals, to many to name or count the most recent one was Thursdays Aoi festival at kamigamojinja, its not a very exciting even lots of people dress up and parade around, and yes there are always looks but there more out of curiosity or what will the gaijin do looks than what the hell is here doing here looks. Kodomo no hi is celebrated many different ways mainly by the hanging of the fish windsock things for boys and girls, sometime children's games in the park ect. Hina Matsuri is more from what I have seen a private festival where the family brings out traditional dolls and departments have displays, but it is possible some city's have large gatherings its not a golden week holiday or a day off so when it falls on a week day its hard to do much. Hope that helped bed time here
