The 百鬼夜行 (Hyakki YagyÅ�), translated into English as "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" note  The closest English equivalent would be 'pandemonium', as it's both etymologically similar and similar in meaning , is a massive night parade composed of a wide variety of Youkai — demons and spirits believed to be responsible for natural phenomenon of all kinds — where they party and generally cause chaos. It is often used as an idiom for riots and disorderly processions, though some believe it to be a real event in folklore.
Over the years, many different interpretations of how the Parade works have cropped up. Some believe it's led by the youkai Nurarihyon and that it's hosted every summer evening. Humans unprotected by exorcism charms or are not the Onmyoji clan head are killed in the chaos. Despite using the character 鬼 (Oni), the Night Parade is far removed from the term's modern usage to refer to a race of horned ogre-like beings (hence the "demons" translation being standard even when "oni" is otherwise left untranslated); however, it's not unknown in fiction for powerful oni to command a Night Parade, or even be a gestalt entity created from one.
This is said to occur in times when the barrier between Human World and the Spirit World are thin, drawing similar parallels to the Western idea of Samhain.
Compare The Wild Hunt and Walpurgisnacht, events in European folklore where mythical creatures and other supernatural phenomena congress.

Overly Sarcastic Productions: In the Halloween Episode "The Wild Hunt", Red discusses the Hyakki Yagyo alongside the aforementioned Wild Hunt and other types of nighttime spectral processions (or as she calls them, "ghost tornadoes").

Appears in the Yo-kai Watch franchise in the form of a randomly-triggered rhythm minigame, referred to in the English translation as the "Kaos March". In order to trigger it, the main character must walk around the Downtown Springdale area on a clear night, when the in-game clock is between 9 and 12 PM. There is a chance that he or she will stumble upon a group of marching Yo-kai that will invite him or her to join them. The player must move the stylus and tap the touch screen in sync with the music in order to win. Once the Kaos March has first been discovered, it can be triggered again by speaking to a certain NPC Yo-kai. It appears in both Yo-kai Watch 2 and Yo-kai Watch 3.

Ayakashi Triangle shows a very benign form of hyakki-yak� while Kachofugetsu run laps for gym glass. Matsuri muses on if Yayo and Lu could see the supernatural, and has an Imagine Spot of many different types of ayakashi running alongside them (one of which is tripping).

In Erma, Erma's family are invited to Japan by her maternal relatives, the Yureimotos, to take part in the Night Parade. It is implied that while it is a fun party to be involved in, the sheer anarchy of it can be dangerous, hence why Fumiko objects to her father's idea to involve the servants for fear of their lives.

Sengoku Youko:
The second protagonist Senya has the spirits of 1000 different youkai locked within him, with one of his signature attacks being the "Senki Yagyo" (Night Parade of One Thousand Demons). It's stated that these spirits will eventually fuse with him over time, transforming him into the apocalyptically-powerful "Thousand-Demon Devil". Eventually Senya earns the Undying Loyalty of all 1000 youkai and realises that even if he loses his humanity he can still decide what he evolves into. In response the youkai transform themselves into arms, causing Senya's monstrous appearance to permanently morph into a messianic one modelled after Kannon of the Thousand Open Hands.
Around the same time, the antagonists assemble their own Senki Yagyo to fight Senya and his allies, although its members are brainwashed into serving them.

In the universe of Jujutsu Kaisen, the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" was a terrorist attack organized by the sorcerer Suguru Geto, in pursuit of Rika Orimoto and Yuta Okkotsu. He had a multitude of demons swarm the cities of Shinjuku and Kyoto while students, faculty, and alumni of Jujutsu High were on hand to fight back.

Operation: Specter in Pom Poko is a display of illusory magic practiced by the Tanuki elders of Shikoku that simulates a ghostly parade of youkai and demons as part of a last-ditch attempt to protect Tama Hills from human development. Since the humans of New Tama are not as superstitious as those in Shikoku, it winds up being confused for a festive piece of advertisement for a local theme-park company, made all the more insulting since one of the Elders wound up dying from the strain of it, and the revelation that it failed ended up driving a second one mad.

Monster Hunter: Rise: A central event in the story is a reoccurring catastrophe known as the "Rampage", where all the local monsters inexplicably go crazy and begin destroying everything in sight in a stampeding mob (later revealed to be caused by the mating cycle of two Elder Dragons, Ibushi and Narwa). Many of the new monsters also take heavy inspiration from Youkai and the specific setting is strongly Wutai based. The description on the Japanese website makes the comparison even more obvious by calling it "The Night March of One Hundred Wyverns".

While it is not stated outright, the plot of Spirited Away implies that this is occurring during the film's story. Chihiro and her parents end up trapped in the Spirit World when they stay at the abandoned amusement park before sunset, something that is commonly believed to happen to humans who happen upon the Hyakki Yagyo. The fact that it is set in an amusement park with a "restaurant row," in and out-going cruise ships and a fully-stocked bathhouse hints that this is occurring in the middle of a festival, which supplementary material suggests is a yearly event.
