I did some research. The festival Haga took part is likely the UEDA SANADA FESTIVAL. As shown on this site: http://www.go-nagano...d=8&kubuncode=7

Based on documentaries I have seen of the SOMA SAMURAI FESTIVAL, normally only clan members will represent their own clan. Outsiders will require permission to wear the clan insiginia and flag. This is about official festivals, not cosplaying.

Haga has taken up the same role for 2 years in a row, since we only have seen records from 2013 and 2014, I can't say if she had taken part in previous years. The princess role is an important role and I doubt they would just let anyone take that part.
