The Kanuma Autumn Festival carries on the festival traditions from the Edo period and is registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.

The core of the festival is the "Kanuma Imamiya Shrine Festival Float Event", where for two days, 26 floats parade through the streets of Kanuma as the Yomeimon Gate. Imamiya Shrine serves as the main venue, surrounded by elaborately decorated areas and traditional stalls. Visitors to the festival can witness dynamic performances of these floats firsthand and enjoy a variety of cultural events. Additionally, festival-exclusive merchandise and float foods are available, further enhancing the value of the visit. When visiting, make sure to view the luxurious carvings on the floats up close and appreciate the detailed craftsmanship.
