"Hirosaki apple Halloween" will be held on October 9 around Omachi station square in Hirosaki.

This is the 5th year of the event. "Halloween was originally an event to celebrate the autumn harvest. Pumpkins were used because of the large amount of harvest, but in Hirosaki, if it is an event to celebrate the apple harvest, Katsuya Kinoshita, the Hirosaki Chamber of Commerce and Industry, will host it. Says

The "Hirosaki Apple Halloween Costume Contest" will be held from 11:00 on the day, and 28 people who have entered will come to the examination. The application has already been closed, but you can view it freely. The examination results will be announced at 15:00 in front of the station.

From 13:50, the "Hirosaki Apple Halloween Parade" will be held, and the "Ekidete Promenade" will be marched from Namiki-dori to Ekimae Park. Those who wish to participate need to purchase the parade pass (200 yen), and it will be sold on the day.

Mr. Kinoshita is confident that there are many sponsors of companies and stores this year. In addition to discounts and special offers for the parade pass, children under elementary school age can participate in the "Trick or Treat Seal Rally," which collects sweets and stickers at 51 stores.

Mr. Kinoshita, who visited last year's largest Halloween event, "Kawasaki Halloween," shows that he was eager to make a similar event at Hirosaki's Halloween event. "There are many places that I referred to Kawasaki's events that have been going on for 20 years. There are also devices such as kids make booths and Halloween accessories that can be made on the spot that can be caught in by chance or those who come by hand. I made it."

In the evening, Hirono (Hirosaki City Ekimae) on the 4th floor of the Hirosaki Civic Cultural Exchange Hall will open a "Apple Halloween Night in Hiroro" by the dance studio "FUNKY STADIUM" and perform dance shows and dance battles.

Holding time is from 11:00 to 20:00.
