The 37th Toyooka Festival

About this event

The 37th Toyooka Festival will be held in Toyooka Village, Nagano Prefecture, from Saturday, November 14 to Sunday, November 15, 2026. Taking place at venues around the Toyooka Village Office such as 'Toyomatsu Stage', 'Genkikko Hiroba', and the 'Yumearute Exchange Learning Center', the festival is planned for many people from inside and outside the village to enjoy. Planned activities include stage performances, Yosakoi dancing, crafts and games for children, a cultural festival exhibition (held as a related program from November 8 to 15), as well as sales of food, drinks, and agricultural produce. On the 14th, a collaborative portable shrine (mikoshi) showcase will start at 17:25, and musical fireworks will be launched from around 18:00 near the Tenryu River embankment to the west of the village office. A mini steam locomotive for children (100 yen) and the 'HADO Monster Battle' AR experience for ages 4 and up (200 yen) will also be offered. Working vehicles will be on display both days, featuring Self-Defense Forces vehicles on the 14th and police and fire department vehicles on the 15th. In addition, a variety of programs are prepared, such as complimentary Satoyama soup, monkey performances, street sidewalk doodling, and a library reuse market, with dates and times differing by corner. Due to traffic regulations and limited parking around the venue, using shuttle buses or public transportation is recommended. It is about a 16-minute walk from Ichida Station on the JR Iida Line.
