Season & hours
Name: 根崎神社例大祭
Date & time: 8/13 (Thu)–8/15 (Sat) Time TBA
Venue: 八雲町熊石・根崎神社周辺(関内地区〜根崎地区〜鮎川地区)
熊石の海沿いに鎮座する根崎神社で営まれる例大祭です。2026年は8月13日から15日までの3日間、関内地区から根崎地区、鮎川地区までの一帯を舞台に、地域をあげての祭礼が繰り広げられます。小さな漁村の神社ながら、太鼓や神輿とともに集落の人々が一体となって祝う様子には、都市部の大規模な祭りとは違う温かみがあります。日本海の潮風を感じながら過ごす、静かで印象深い夏の夜になります。
Tips
会場周辺は住宅地に近いため、車を停める際は地域の案内に従いましょう。飲食店や自動販売機が少ないエリアなので、事前に飲み物や軽食を用意しておくと安心です。夜は海からの風で肌寒くなることがあるので羽織ものがあると快適です。
Tips
As this is not an officially managed swimming beach, exercise caution regarding footing and weather during water play. Facilities like restrooms are limited, so complete necessities beforehand. Tidal ranges can affect walkable areas.
