2026年は8月12日から14日まで開催される、四国最大級の規模を誇る高松の夏祭りです。サンポート高松多目的広場やあなぶきアリーナ香川周辺を中心に、市民や企業から集まった数百人規模の踊り連が「オーレ、リャーレ」の掛け声とともに揃いの衣装で乱舞します。瀬戸内海に面した港町ならではの開放的な会場で、太鼓や鳴子の音が響き渡る熱気は、高松の夏を締めくくるにふさわしい迫力です。
Tips
会場周辺は開始前から大勢の見物客で賑わいます。良い場所で見たい場合は16時台から会場付近にいると安心です。周辺道路や駐車場は大変混雑するため公共交通機関の利用がおすすめです。
Tips
Evening traffic increases on festival day. Complete dinner by 4 PM and move to the venue with time to spare. Sanuki udon is worth trying while you're here.
