The Sinnoh Festival

The Sinnoh Festival (Japanese: シンオウフェス Sinnoh Fest) is an event that appeared in The Arceus Chronicles (Part 1) in Canalave City. The purpose of the festival is to show off the past, culture, and products of the Sinnoh region.

Ash and his friends visited it during research in their internship as researchers at Cerise Laboratory.
