During the festival's period, lots of events held on weekends are scheduled to entertain the visitors, such as Local Farmers and Producers Market, Street Performer Shows, Flower and Plans Market and much more (some attractions - such as tea serving and horse riding - require fee).

While in most parts of the world there’s only the name “iris” for any flower of that family of species, Japan’s irises have distinct names for the most popular ones, the most popular ones being “hana-shobu,” with its yellowish hues near the petal base, the “ayame,” with its intricate petal patterns, and the “kakitsubata,” with the whitish, delicate hues.
