• The Tohoku Kizuna Festival is an event where six famous festivals from across Tohoku, one from each prefecture, are celebrated all at once. The festival takes place in a different Tohoku prefecture each year. The main event is a parade featuring the most recognizable elements from each of these traditional Tohoku summer festivals: the Waraji Festival from Fukushima, the Sendai Tanabata from Miyagi, the Hanagasa Festival from Yamagata, the Sansa Dance from Iwate, the Kanto Festival from Akita, and the Nebuta Festival from Aomori.

    In 2025, to coincide with and celebrate the Osaka Expo 2025, the Tohoku Kizuna Festival will be held at the Expo venue in Osaka.
