The Date Musha Festival is a citizen participation event that inherits the history and traditions of the pioneering period and has been planned and run by local volunteers since 1973. In addition to the spectacular samurai floats, powerful dances, and horseback parades, the main venue, the Nodate Rekishi no Mori Culture Center Square, has a festival square with food stalls, a beer garden, and a children's festival corner, so you can enjoy the festival from the night before the festival.
