Featured Events in Sapporo in June, 2025 (May Updated)

Yosakoi Soran Festival is a folk dance festival held in Sapporo, Hokkaido. The festival brings together 1,000 strong teams of performers dressed in brightly coloured costumes and exaggerated make-up, who perform along the streets of Odori Park during the day and move to the park's main stage at night for further performances. The dance combines traditional elements such as naruko clapping and original "fishermen's harvest dance" folk songs, but with a modern twist and a more rhythmic feel that draws crowds to the show.
