About
Ishigaki Island's annual autumn festival takes place on November 7 and November 8 in 2026. Local businesses and others open food and merchandise stalls around the main venue at Shin'ei Park and Ishigaki Civic Hall, trading from 11:00 to 20:40 on both days. Over the two days there are stage shows, a parade and fireworks. The organizing committee presents the festival as an expression of the pride and joy of living on an island blessed by the Kuroshio current and the sun.
