札幌祭 / Hokkaido Shrine Festival

札幌祭（札幌市）是北海道神宮的祭典，由1874年開始的。札幌祭會在每年的6月14、15、16日舉辦。活動內容為4組神轎和8組山車（有各種裝飾類似花車遊行的物品），和許多穿著傳統服飾的人從北海道神宮步行遊行至市中心。除了北海道神宮境內之外，在中島公園也陳列許多販賣飲食的攤位。也設有鬼屋等遊戲棚。

Hokkaido Shrine Festival (Sapporo City), also known as Sapporo Matsuri (Sapporo Festival), started in 1874. The dates are fixed every year - June 14th, 15th, and 16th. The main event is a big parade starting at the shrine, moving to the center of Sapporo to places such as Hokkaido Government Building, and then returning to the shrine. Parade participants wear old costumes used by high-class people in the Heian period. Also, four portable shrines and eight parade floats are included. At the shrine and Nakajima Park, a lot of shops and entertainment including a haunted house are open.
