The Meguro Citizens' Festival is one of Meguro City's largest festivals. Its four main attractions are the Meguro Pacific Saury Festival (Meguro no Sanma Matsuri), an exhibition of regional specialties (Furusato Bussanten), a festival square, and a children's square.

The festival dedicated to the Pacific saury (a fish called "sanma" in Japanese) is immensely popular. Each year, it attracts crowds upon crowds of visitors, all lined up by the Megurogawa River for a taste of fresh charcoal-grilled Pacific sauries from Kesennuma, Meguro's sister city in Miyagi Prefecture. The grilled sauries are garnished with kabosu, a citrus fruit from Oita Prefecture. The best part is that these sauries are given away for free. *Reservation required in advance.

The regional specialties exhibition showcases delicacies from regions with strong ties to Meguro City, such as its sister cities. Meanwhile, the festival square features entertainment such as band performance and rakugo storytelling. The children's square, with its fun activities for parents and children alike, is also very popular.
