The {{nihongo|'''Watanagashi Festival'''|綿流し祭|Cotton Drifting Festival}} is an annual festival in [[Hinamizawa]] and serves as a fixed point in every main story arc of {{higurashi}}. The festival, while outwardly innocent, coincides with a series of gruesome murders that occur in Hinamizawa: [[the dam construction site murder]], [[the dam supporters' accident]], [[the priest's death]], and the [[murder of the housewife]]. It's purpose as a fixed point in ''Higurashi's'' story arcs makes the Festival analogous to the delivery of [[Beatrice's letter]] in {{umineko}}.
