Mark your calendars for August 2nd and 3rd this year and witness the spectacular ‘Lantern Castle in the Sky’ parades at Noshiro Tanabata Festival. 

Watch as glowing castle-shaped lantern floats brighten up the main street of Nosiro City, pulled down by passionate teams of locals. 

The festival features one of Japan’s tallest lantern floats, towering at a whooping 24.1 metres!
