Fukue Port Festival

About this event

The 'Fukue Minato Festival,' representing Goto City, features as its most powerful highlight giant Nebuta floats based on Goto's history and folklore—such as Kentoshi (Japanese envoys to Tang China), Wako pirates, and fire-extinguishing kappa—parading through the town. A wide variety of events are planned, including Enjo Taiko drumming and fireworks displays, drawing large crowds every year. Centered around the main shopping arcade, parades by local nursery, elementary, and junior high school students also take place, further enlivening the festival. On the final day of the festival, fireworks are launched from Fukue Port, vividly lighting up the autumn night sky of Goto City.
