A series of events that are collectively referred to as “Aki no Kumamoto Oshiro Matsuri” (Kumamoto Castle Autumn Festival) begins on the 1st of September and continues through October 31st. I don’t have time to translate the information on this page but Google Translate or some similar service might help give you an idea of what’s coming up if you don’t read Japanese.
By the way, I have links to “Language Tools” (Rikai, Hiragana Megane, etc) on my “Kumamoto Links” page that those of you who read some Japanese but are still learning might find helpful:

Note that the readings and definitions provided by these services are not always correct. They can be helpful but if you want to be sure and readings and meanings you’ll need to check other sources.
