About this event

Held in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Akiruno City Local Performing Arts Association, 'Akiruno City Local Performing Arts Festival 2026' is a valuable opportunity where local traditional performing arts gather in one place. Local performing arts such as hayashi festival music, lion dance (shishimai), kagura sacred music and dance, and stick fighting (bo-tsukai), which can usually only be seen at local festivals, will be performed in a single venue. From the 38 organizations belonging to the Akiruno City Local Performing Arts Association, visitors can appreciate a diverse range of arts handed down by each group. By paying attention to the rhythm of flutes and drums, dance gestures, and differences in regional costumes and props, you will be able to feel the unique characteristics of each performing art more deeply. Admission is free, and the venue is S&D Akigawa Kirara Hall. Doors open at 9:30, performances start at 10:00, and the event is scheduled to close at 17:00. Capacity is 700 people.
