Event

Echizen Pottery Festival

The town organizes its annual event "Echizen Pottery Festival" in May on its last Suturday, Sunday and Monday, attracting approximately 100,000 tourists from inside and outside the prefecture.

The festival features a ceramic ware fair which is very popular every year because it offers Echizen ware articles at prices lower than their market prices. It also prevents various other events such as a bazaar for sale of the town's special products, local performing art performance, musical entertainment and tea party serving tea in a traditional Japanese ceremonial manner.
