Update：2024/5/31
Sakai Grand Evening Fish Market
Date/time: Saturday July 27th, 11:00-21:30
Location: Ohama Park
Nearest Station: Sakai station (Nankai Line)
Believed to have begun during the Kamakura period and have an impressive history of about 700 years, this event is a seasonal summer tradition of Sakai. It first began when local fishermen made offerings of fish during Sumiyoshi Festival’s Mikoshi Togyo parade, and a fish market started being held on Ohama beach. The most exciting attraction is the fish auction that is planned for the evening. Also, there will be fireworks, night stalls and lots of booths. Please be aware that this year, unlike past years it will be held in the weekend instead of the 31st.
