切なくも美しいなぬかびおくりでフィナーレ　弘前ねぷたまつり閉幕

On August 7th, the Nanukabi Okuri ceremony was held to close the seven-day Hirosaki Neputa Festival along the Iwaki River. After the Neputa Nagashi, in which 10 Neputa floats were paraded down the riverbed roads, festival organizers from Genmansha, Kaiyukai, Hirosaki Neputa Lovers' Association, and the Aradama Fan Neputa and four other group Neputa floats were lit. The gathered spectators watched the festival come to an end as the Neputa flared up.
