“On the 3rd Saturday and Sunday (eve of the festival on Friday) of April, all Ushibuka citizens participate in the festival, and the whole city is enveloped in a festive mood for 3 days. The Haiya Dance is particularly breathtaking, with about 5,000 people, young and old, divided into groups and dancing throughout the city, wearing individual Japanese summer kimonos or happis. In addition, various events such as local performing arts and a marine product fair are held.”
