There's no difference in the meaning but the latter is in heavier use because it's shorter and easier to say.

Thanks masaegu san.

By the way, masaegu san. Can I say "高島屋でお祭りがある" (A festival is taking place in Takashimaya)?

Not incorrect but if it's already started, we would say 高島屋でお祭りをやっている。

If it will start in the near future, what you said is most natural.

Thanks for explaining it to me, masaegu san. I have another question which is regarding "買います" and "飼います"?

For example, "犬を買う" and "犬を飼う". I would like to know how are people going to differetiate whether someone is telling them "I will buy a dog" and "I will keep/raise a dog" since it sounds the same during a conversation.

The context will tell.

Besides, the pronunciations are different. Who told you they sounded the same????

[masaegu]

I won't do this again because I'm not the one who needs to check his accent.

Compare the pronunciations of the two words here:

Oh, I thought they sound the same because both stands for "Kaimasu".

What's the correct pronunciation for both "買う" and "飼う"?

For example: HAshi = Chopsticks. haSHI = Bridge
