The “Nagoya Festival” is known for the procession of the three heroes, Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu, with approximately 600 people parading through the center of the city.

The festival had been canceled for two consecutive years due to the new Corona virus, but on June 9, Nagoya City, which serves as the festival’s secretariat, announced that the festival would be held for the first time in three years on a reduced scale.

In order to avoid the density of the festival, the festival will stop the participation of elementary school students and younger, as well as the formation and performance of the festival.

The Nagoya Festival is scheduled for October 15 and 16, and the city commented, “We know that many citizens are looking forward to the festival, which will be held for the first time in three years, so we want to prepare for it by taking all possible measures to prevent infection.
