This is a prominent annual festival in the prefecture that draws a significant crowd. It showcases various events such as parades, diverse stage performances, and a lively market offering a wide range of delicious food. The "Ube Festival (Coal Town Festival)" was originally established to celebrate the city's founding anniversary. At the heart of this festival is a grand parade that highlights the Nanban Ondo dance, a contemporary adaptation of the work songs sung by miners while pushing coal carts. This parade serves as a symbol of Ube City's pride and heritage.
