Nebuta Festival

Held from August 2 to 7 every year, it is a typical traditional festival in Aomori. Originally, in order to drive away the sand devils, which are depressing in summer, many lantern floats were made to parade, and then they were exiled into the water. Today is August 2-7 every year, and many units will make large lanterns to participate in the parade. There are about 20 large lanterns in each parade (the number of lanterns on August 5-6 is relatively large), plus there are dancers wearing flower hats, traditional costumes, and flute players before and after each lantern. The visitors and the big drum car, as well as the small advertising light cars of the participating units, are very beautiful and spectacular. August 2-6 is the night light car parade at 19-21 o'clock, and the 7th is 13-15 o'clock in the daytime. It is located on the two wide roads outside Aomori Railway Station. There will be traffic control at that time. On the evening of the 7th, there will be a sea light car parade and fireworks display at Qingzhihai Park next to the bridge. However, the venues in the park require a ticket to enter.
