The typical way to celebrate tango no sekku is to display armor, helmet, sword, doll warrior, or gogatsu-ningyo dolls (literally, dolls of May) modeled after Kintaro (a famous brave boy in a nursery tale) in a tiered stand in a room, and to fly Koinobori (carp streamers) are flown on a pole in the front yard.
鎧、兜、刀、武者人形や金太郎を模した五月人形などを室内の飾り段に飾り、庭前に鯉幟（こいのぼり）を立てるのが、典型的な祝い方である。
