 August 6-7 is Reisai Festival of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine.

This year is a festival, so it is different from the enthusiasm of the Reitaisai festival (main festival) once every three years, and rituals are held quietly.

A large festival ceremony will be held at 11:00 on August 6th.

From 15:30 on August 7th, 17:00, and 19:00, Kagura dedication by the nationally designated important Intangible Cultural Property Taneo Wakayama Shrine.

On the afternoon of August 7, 2015, Ms. Sumiyoshi Tsukuda, the caretaker who wore the Reitaisai festival "Align" in 2015, conveys the strong bond through local festivals and the weight of continuous history.

After the evening palace and worship ceremony, the Tsukuda atmosphere "feast" such as the social gathering with the association at the Sumiyoshi lecture tent on the Funairi moat terrace and the subsequent Sumiyoshi lecture social gathering are still alive.
