The Shigumasai festival is held for three days every year in early November at Kumamoto University’s Kurokami North Campus to coincide with the university’s anniversary. Although the festival’s executive committee once dwindled in number and disbanded, it has since been revived, and the event now attracts 34,000 visitors, making it the largest university festival in Kyushu in terms of attendance.
