The Namban Parade, in which people dress in the clothes worn by people in ancient times, is also held, and dances by dance groups enliven the festival. This year marks the 480th anniversary of guns being imported, and the festival will be accordingly huge. Apart from this, the Taikoyama Parade and the Performance Contest are also held. * Please note the event may be cancelled, or the dates may be changed.
