Participants carry a large steel phallus during the Kanamara Festival in Kawasaki

Well, not personally. In effigy:

Shinto Kanamara Matsuri, aka the Festival of the Steel Phallus, sees giant manhood-shaped shrines take over streets in Kawasaki, Japan 

Held every year, the event sees visitors coming from far afield to watch parades and chow down on phallus-shaped lollipops. 

The event, which started in 1977 at the Kanayama Shrine , celebrates the male appendage and fertility . 

It is believed to have its roots in the 17th Century, following the gory tale of a sharp-toothed demon who fell in love with a beautiful woman.

Sounds like Trump.
