The main event: a community summer festival alive with food stalls, bon odori dancing, and festive music

About this spot

A community-wide summer festival held at Ohnishi Community Center in Ohnishi, Imabari City. The 2026 event runs on Saturday, August 15, with food stalls lining the parking lot and grounds of the community center, filling the air with the aroma of grilled noodles, shaved ice, and other classic festival fare. As evening progresses into night, bon odori circles expand, with people of all ages—from local children to adults—celebrating together across generations. As the perfect finale to a day spent fully savoring the beauty of Shimanami Kaido, immerse yourself in the warmth of a community-rooted summer night.

Tips

The venue area becomes crowded after evening, so walking or cycling access is recommended. Most food stalls operate on a cash basis, so having plenty of small change is wise. Night sea breezes can feel cool, so having a light wrap ensures comfort throughout the evening.

Best time to visit

From 5 p.m. onwards. After 6 p.m., when the lanterns light up and bon odori dancing peaks, is most recommended.
