The 7th Shihoro Potato Festival will be held. It will be a potato-filled day with events such as the Potato & Curry Stall, which will feature potato and curry dishes, the Potato Battle on the Lawn, which is open to both children and adults, a championship where Shihoro farmers will compete to see who can find the strangest "weird potato" they can find while harvesting, and the Potato Soup Grand Prix, where townspeople will submit their recommended recipes and participants will be able to vote on them on the day.
