The epic float competition and the heart-pounding sound of shagiri. The Mishima Grand Festival, the biggest event in Mishima City, is held every year from August 15th to 17th, regardless of the day of the week.
About 700 meters from Mishima Taisha Shrine to Mishima Hirokoji Station is turned into a pedestrian zone, and various events such as floats and shagiri festivals, the local performing arts "Nohebushi" Parade , the "Mishima Samba" Parade, and the "Minamotono Yoritomo" flag-raising procession are held.
Origin of the Mishima Festival
The festival has a long history and is said to have started in ancient times. Originally, it was a festival on the day of the autumn rooster of the new grain harvest of Mishima Taisha Shrine, but it has developed as a festival with citizen participation over time.
Today, it is held as a local event to pass down and disseminate the history, culture, and traditions of Mishima.
August 15th Dashi and Shagiri Day
The biggest event "Dashi" and "Shagiri"
The floats of Tobancho, which have been passed down since the Edo period, and the light shagiri sound add to the atmosphere of the festival.
At night, the floats of "Tobancho" gather in front of Mishima Taisha and the competition begins all at once. The sound of shagiri reverberating from several floats makes the hearts of the spectators excited and the festival reaches its climax.

August 16th Traditional Performing Arts Day
"Traditional performing arts" that convey one page of history now
The "Yoritomo Flag Raising Procession", which has become a popular event at the Mishima Grand Festival, will be held.
It is an event related to the historical fact that Minamoto no Yoritomo, who was exiled to Izu in the Heiji War (1159), raised an army after praying at Mishima Taisha Shrine for the restoration of the Genji clan, and conquered the country.
Every year, a different entertainer plays the part of Yoritomo, and the locals go around the city dressed in the costumes of the time, creating a lively atmosphere.
Other events include traditional performing arts that remain as Shinto rituals of Mishima Taisha, such as "Hand-held Fireworks" and "Urayasu Mai," as well as "Ladder Nori" and "Mikoshi."

August 17th Dance Day
Feast of "dance" dancing spectacularly on the last day
A parade of "Nohei Bushi", which begins with the rhythmical song "Fuji no Shirayuki Noe", and "Mishima Samba", which is arranged in a pop style, will be held. The well-organized "Nenhei Bushi" and the gorgeous "Mishima Samba" are both representative dances of Mishima and are loved by the citizens.
In addition, a free dance competition will be held, and anyone can enjoy it.
Appropriate for the final day of the historic Mishima Grand Festival, the festival comes to an end after the dances that symbolize both the past and the present are finished. The last one is "Toban-cho float competition".
The heat reaches its climax, and although it is regretted, this year's curtain closes
