Date & time: 7/31 (Fri)–8/4 (Tue) Time TBA
Venue: 八戸市中心街
2026年は7月31日から8月4日まで開催される、国の重要無形民俗文化財にも指定された東北屈指の夏祭りです。おがみ神社をはじめとする三つの神社の神輿渡御に合わせて、氏子各町内が趣向を凝らした豪華な山車を繰り出し、からくり仕掛けで動く人形や迫力ある造形が観客を沸かせます。笛・太鼓・手振り鉦によるお囃子に乗って山車が練り歩く様子は、街全体が一体となって作り上げる夏の一大絵巻です。
Tips
中心街は開始前から大勢の見物客で賑わうため、良い場所で見たいなら16時台から沿道に着いておくと安心です。周辺道路は通行規制がかかるので、公共交通機関の利用がおすすめです。ベビーカーの場合は後方や広い交差点付近が見やすいです。

Best time to visit
About 45 minutes. It's well-positioned for a stop before the evening float procession.
