There will likely be many places in Nishinomiya hosting summer festivals again this year.
For neighborhood summer festivals, you can usually find out the dates from people you know or from posters, but surprisingly, they often don’t show up online.
So here at Nishi2, we’d like to put together a schedule of “neighborhood summer festivals”!See the Nishinomiya event list here
（We will only cover summer festivals with ennichi stalls, food stalls, night market booths, and the like）
Nishinomiya Summer Festival Schedule 2023
We’ll keep adding entries as soon as we find out about them.(We’d be grateful if you could send us information)
Items highlighted in blue are ones Nishi2 has written articles about.
