Aomori Nebuta Festival - plan your visit 2027: Dates, Venue & Visitor Guide
青森ねぶた祭
Aomori Nebuta Festival fills central Aomori with illuminated sculptural floats, festival music and dancers. The large nebuta turn dramatic figures and stories into moving light, while the programme changes between the main evening parades and the final day’s daytime and waterfront events.
Keep this event with your plans.
What to know before you go.
The floats are individual works by specialist makers, and their themes and forms reward attention beyond the overall parade spectacle. The annual schedule distinguishes evening street processions from the final day’s events, so match your visit to the experience you want. Reserved seating and participation arrangements should be checked for the specific edition.
Event dates, access and crowd controls can change. Verify with the organizer before committing non-refundable travel.
