YOSAKOI Soran Festival
Five days when Sapporo's streets are enveloped in excitement every June
A major event heralding the early summer of Hokkaido. Every year, many teams from across the country participate and perform passionate dances.
Born in 1992, YOSAKOI Soran Festival has its roots in Kochi Prefecture's "Yosakoi Festival" and mixes the "naruko" (wooden clappers) of the Yosakoi Festival with Hokkaido's folk song "Soran Bushi." Dancers in colorful team costumes perform dynamically at various locations throughout the city, centered on Odori Park. There are parade-style performances led by decorated trucks (jikatasha) and stage-style performances at a single location, with the style of dance changing depending on the venue—this is one of the festival's unique attractions.
