「福山とんど祭り」は、1622年、水野勝成の福山城築城後、城下30町と鞆6町の町衆が飾りをつけた計36本の「とんど」を担ぎ、はやし音頭とともに練り歩くという、城下町福山をあげての正月行事であった。
廃藩置県後も規模を縮小して続けられていたが、昭和3年の昭和天皇即位を祝った年以後は全町あげて繰り出すことはなくなったようだ。

Fukuyama Tondo Festival was established as part of the New Year’s celebrations in 1622, when Fukuyama Castle was built by Mizuno Katsunari. The festival involved residents of the castle town—30 neighborhoods adjoining the castle and six neighborhoods in Tomo—parading the streets hoisting 36 decorated tondo (teepee-shaped pyres) to the accompaniment of song and music. The festival was scaled back after domains were replaced by prefectures, and after 1928, when celebrations for the enthronement of Emperor Showa were held, the festival ceased to be an event involving the whole castle town.
