The Minazuki Festival, held since June 1977 (Showa 52), is a traditional event. It is divided into morning and afternoon sessions. In each, there are sports events as well as food stalls and stage performances organized by clubs and other groups. The girls’ cavalry battle, held from the very first festival to the present as one of the main events of the school festival, has become an early-summer tradition in Miyano. With numerous stage programs presented by student circles, you’re sure to enjoy the festivities all day long!
There are rough-and-tumble events like the annual tradition of tossing the year’s committee chair into the air on a portable shrine, as well as participatory stage events. You can feel the history from the signboards that have been repainted year after year. There are even fireworks launched on the university campus, and the lineup is packed with summery, festive attractions.
It will be held over two days at Ube Frontier University’s campus festival. There will be community-focused events such as performances by local idols and a vegetable market. If you’re in the area, be sure to stop by!
