Shinjo Matsuri 新庄まつり Shinjo Festival

Held since 1755, the festival was established by the local Daimyō (feudal lord) to lift the spirits of the common people after a particularly bad harvest. The current incarnation of the festival includes traditional dancing, a reinactment of the first "Daimyō Parade", traditional festival vending stalls, and the Yattai Parade.
