During the festival period, performing arts groups from both inside and outside the prefecture gather to compete in folk performances at various venues throughout the city. At the folk performing arts show held on the main street in front of the city hall, popular performances such as \"Oni Kenbai\" and \"Shika Odori\" can be enjoyed. Among them, the \"Oni Kenbai Grand Dance\" held on the second day at the festival square in front of the city hall, featuring over 100 dancers performing simultaneously, is truly spectacular. The finale is adorned with elaborate fireworks along the Kitakami River and the \"Torokko Nagashi,\" which boasts a 370-year tradition. The sight of large fireworks and lanterns floating on the river surface is moving.
