What’s All the Buzz About? 🐝

Hey everyone! Get ready because the Uruma Festival is back for its 19th run, and it’s bringing the Bullfighting Competition along! This isn’t just any weekend; it’s a two-day spectacle that promises action, culture, and a sky full of fireworks 🎆. The catch? This year marks the last time it’ll be held at the Gushikawa General Athletic Park due to upcoming renovations, making it extra special.

Star-Studded Performances 🌟

Highlight of the event? A unique performance by Kanatake’s Amawari and RYUJIN mix, coming together for a once-in-a-festival lifetime show! Trust me, it’s not something you’d want to miss!

Free Bullfighting? Yes, Please! 🐂

And if you’re wondering about the bullfighting, it’s happening for free! Just head over to the Ishikawa Multipurpose Dome on Saturday and watch these mighty bulls go head-to-head.

Local Heroes to the Rescue! 🦸

Cheer on our local superheroes, “Urumer” and “Bullfighting Warrior Waido,” as they make their grand entrance. It’s like comic book come to life but with more sand and less spandex!

Fireworks Finale 🎇

Don’t rush off when the sun sets; the night brings a dazzling display of fireworks that will light up both nights. It’s perfect for that Instagram story or just soaking in the vibes.
