Summer Festival

Event Overview

During the day, the floats move around the town to perform their proud dances and lion dances. In the evening, in the dark of the night, children and young people perform a full-of-energy dance on the buzzing of whistles and drums. The style of summer can be felt in the appearance of colorful floats and lively participants. In addition, Tokuchi Matsuri no Tokuchi in Murayama, Yamagata Prefecture, which has a friendly relationship with Akkeshi-cho, was passed down from the same town.
