The festival began centuries previously as a time to cast off the sins of the villagers via human sacrifice.
It's purpose as a fixed point in Higurashi's story arcs makes the Festival analogous to Beatrice's letter in Umineko no Naku Koro ni. 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. The 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 no Naku Koro ni.
