The Tahara Festival is a traditional autumn festival in Tahara City that has been held since the Edo period. The highlight is the three magnificent floats, which are designated as tangible cultural properties of the city, and the skillful performances of the mechanical puppets on top of the floats are one of the main attractions! At night, lanterns are lit on the floats, and children perform hand dances on top of them, allowing you to enjoy a different, more magical and vibrant atmosphere than during the day.
