The Kihoku Lantern Festival takes place in the port town of Nagashima in Kihoku, Mie Prefecture.

Each year a large, elaborate cloth lantern is set afloat on the harbor in the afternoon. After nightfall, there is a spectacular fireworks display known as the Saiun Kujaku (Rainbow Peacock) as a backdrop to the floating lantern.
Schedule
From the afternoon until the fireworks begin at 7:30 p.m., there are performances and other entertainment on a stage.
