Nakatsu Gion Festival 中津祇園祭り
This festival has 570 years of tradition and is designated as an intangible folklore cultural asset by Oita prefecture. There will be fireworks on the first day.
On the 2nd day (morning parade) and the 3rd day (returning parade) floats called Gionguruma will parade through Fukuzawa street.
Many events are held during the festival. There are Floats parading around and dancing all over the city while the festival is held.
