Those characters on this mans clothes are 春 and 中. I know that in Chinese these means spring and middle respectively, but since this is a Japanese festival, they're obviously intended to be read as Japanese. I don't know if it has any particular meaning, but it certainly has something to do with spring, no doubt about that.
