Nigata Matsuri

Name: Nigata Matsuri
Address: BR
Price range: 0

The Nigata Matsuri is a combination of four existing festivals: the Sumiyoshi Festival, the Commerce Festival, the Boating Festival, and the Port Commemorative Festival. The festival opens with over 10,000 people dancing to folk songs and chrysanthemum fireworks illuminating the darkness. The next day, festivities continue with the mikoshi (portable shrine) and taiko drums in the Sumiyoshi Parade, a procession of participants in traditional garb around 1 kilometer in length. Another highlight is the Niigata Sparkly Parade, with drum-and-fife bands, baton troupes, and Niigata Oldtown geisha riding floats. There is also the aquatic mikoshi procession that takes place when the mikoshi is carried over Shinano River, and from dusk citizens march with the mikoshi. The festivities come to a climax at night with a fireworks display set to music, lighting up the night sky. On the final day, a fireworks display caps off the festival with large-size wide chrysanthemum fireworks and waterfall fireworks.
