More than 100 years of history! Kumagaya Uchiwa Festival
In this article, I, Akai Kinzo from AEA KIDS, would like to explain the appeal of the Uchiwa Festival and share with you some scenes from the Uchiwa Festival that I actually attended just last month, along with a video I created!
The appeal of the Uchiwa Festival: What is the Uchiwa Festival?
The famous "Kumagaya Uchiwa Festival" will be held in Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture from July 20th (Sat) to 22nd (Mon), 2024! This festival is a big event that makes you feel excited and excited just by watching it! During the festival, gorgeous floats (Image 1) and food stalls will parade around the city, and you will definitely be overwhelmed by their impressive appearance!
Furthermore, all the floats gather together for an event called "beating," where the sounds of festival music reverberate throughout the area, bringing the excitement of the festival to a climax! This is the perfect event to enjoy the summer in Kumagaya.

The NPO AEA conducts volunteer activities in which children and their families work together to guide guests from overseas. During local traditional events and events, children can actually converse in the English they have learned and interact with people from different cultures, improving their communication skills and developing rich personalities. I would like to play a role in English education that fosters the ability to think for oneself, solve problems, and communicate to others.
