石取祭は、春日神社（桑名宗社）のヒヨリ祭の「石取」という行事が、祭礼化したものです。神社の敷地整備のために、桑名の南を流れる町屋川の川原から石を運んだことが始まりと言われていますが、これについては諸説あり、判然としません。例年40台前後の祭車が市内を巡ります。土曜日に変わる深夜0時に、各組毎に神社に近い所へ整列し叩き出しをします。明け方に一旦終了し、夕刻に町練りをします。
日曜日は午前2時に叩き出しをし、夕刻に全車整列し、神社楼門前で本楽渡祭を行います。
This festival developed from a stone-bringing ceremony at Kasuga Jinja(Kuwana Sosha) Shrine. It is said to have originated with the custom of local
worshippers bringing stones for maintaining the shrine grounds from thebanks of the Machiya River that flows south of Kuwana, but this is one ofseveral theories, and remains conjecture. In most years, some 40 parade
floats are pulled through the city streets. At midnight on Friday, when theday changes to Saturday, teams line up in formation at sites near the shrine
and launch into tatakidashi, or simultaneous drumming. This ends at dawn,
and in the following evening the floats parade through the town. Tatakidashi
begins again at 2:00 am on Sunday, and the in the evening all floats gather information and the main festival is celebrated at the gates to the shrine.

長浜曳山祭

Nagahama Hikiyama Festival
国指定重要無形民俗文化財■長浜曳山祭の曳山行事
National Designated Important Intangible Folk-cultural Property:
Floats of the Nagahama Hikiyama Festival

曳山の起こりは秀吉が長浜城主であった頃、男子の誕生を祝い砂金を振る舞った、この資金をもとに町衆が山を曳きまわしたことと伝えられています。現在みられる13基の曳山のうち、1基のみは江戸時代前期の制作であり舞台を持たない3輪の飾り山。
あとの12基は江戸時代中期以降のもので豪華な舞台を持つ芸山です。江戸時代後期には2階に複雑な屋根を持つ亭が載せられ豪華さを増します。舞台の上では子ども狂言が行われますが、これは男子のみで演じられる義太夫狂言です。
These hikiyama floats are said to have originated when Toyotomi Hideyoshi,
while lord of Nagahama Castle, distributed gifts of gold dust to celebrate thebirth of his son, and the townspeople used this as funds for building floats
that they pulled through the district. Of the 13 hikiyama floats now put onview, only one was built in the early Edo period (1603-1868) – anornamented three-wheel float with no stage. The other 12 date from themiddle of the Edo period or later, and are performance floats that feature
ornate stages. In the late Edo period, they were each topped with a two-story
pavilion having an intricate roof, making them even more showy. Children's
kyogen (comic farce) performances are given on the stages. These arerecited gidayu kyogen pieces performed using only male actors.
