That is the most common use of the yukata, is at festivals.
Why would you get all dressed up for the spa, when you should get undressed after getting there?!

Wearing a hotel or inn yukata is not getting all dressed up. They are cheaper and more simple. they are for relaxing, you know, on vacation at a hot spring resort and drinking bear around the hotel and visiting the spa. It's easier to wear theses simple yukata that regular clothes because you don't have as much on and the obi are super simple and light. I just think it's goofy for a gai-jin to wear one out to a festival, I know it's common for J-folk, but. Miost of the folk I knew in Japan agree, and they are the one's you want to impress in order to ingratiate yourself and not look like a hennagaijin.
But, I must confess, that at home I always wear samue fuku. They are like pajamas with a top like a light gee and matching pants.
