Comfortable in Yukata! "Saga Castle Town EinoKuni Festival" Opens May 23rd, Safe for Families with Children

The "Saga Castle Town EinoKuni Festival," which achieved great success with its early summer holding last year, will be held for two days this year on Saturday, May 23rd and Sunday, May 24th. It has become a new early summer tradition, garnering over 85% support in surveys for being "cool and comfortable even in yukata" and "safe for families with children." Why not feel the pleasant breeze and create the best memories?

Enjoy with peace of mind. A "cool" festival where heatstroke cases drastically decreased.

While summer event timings are being re-evaluated nationwide, this festival was quick to shift to May. The number of heatstroke cases drastically decreased from 14 to 2, and a record-high 255,000 people visited since the new city was established. This year, efforts have been made to avoid overlapping with events like the Inter-High School Sports Festival, creating an environment where more young people can gather.

Parade and mass dance with approximately 3,000 people coloring the town.

The biggest highlight this year is the participatory events where citizens take center stage. Encouraged by the cool climate, over 61 groups and approximately 3,000 people, surpassing last year's numbers, will participate in the parade and mass dance. The town will be filled with energy and smiles through events like the "Kitemin Festival Parade" and the powerful "YOSAKOI Saga."

For family memories. A fireworks display coloring the night sky.

A fireworks display is also planned for the evening of May 23rd. Children can also enjoy a night out with peace of mind, as they will be less affected by the heat from the asphalt. Please enjoy the fireworks launched into the clear early summer night sky with your whole family.

Mayor's Comment

"The advancement of the festival's timing was made possible thanks to the cooperation of all involved. We hope that young people and children can participate with peace of mind and create the best memories. Please enjoy the festival to the fullest while feeling the refreshing breeze of early summer."
