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 story 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 [[Beatrice's letter]] in {{umineko}}.
== Trivia ==
*The word ''wata'' in Watanagashi is typically read as 綿, which means cotton. However, ''wata'' can also be read as 腸, which means guts, intestines, or more simply, organs. By reading ''wata'' this way, the Watanagashi Festival is given the more gruesome translation of "organ-drifting festival".
