Everyone Gather! Hashikko Festival 2026

About this event

Held in Hashimoto City, Wakayama Prefecture, "Minna Atsumare! Hashikko Matsuri 2026" is a festival planned and run by the children of Hashimoto City—from its name to its activities—that can be enjoyed by everyone from children to adults. At the Wakayama Prefectural Hashimoto Gymnasium venue, sports day competitions such as a giant Othello game called "4-Color Battle," an obstacle race, and a scavenger hunt will be held. In particular, the traditional candy toss will take place at the end of the sports day, which can be enjoyed both by children who participated in the events and those who did not. In addition, an itinerant children's hall play area and a picture book corner designed for young children will be set up, offering fun across a wide range of age groups. On the day, "Hashimoto Oshigoto Experience Festa" and "Hashimoto City Market," organized by separate hosts, will be held concurrently on the west side of the gymnasium, featuring construction machinery displays and trial experiences, a flea market, food trucks, and more. Bringing indoor gymnasium shoes is required for the sports day and itinerant children's hall venues.
