Festival Concept
What exactly is "culture"? It could be a song you hummed during a trip, a novel you stayed up reading, or the taste of food shared with friends. The things you encounter, feel, and think about through life become the foundation for the things and experiences we create—and the people who create them. All of these together form culture.
A life with culture changes landscapes, relationships, and the future. Walking through town while listening to music makes everything look different. A single book can change your life. One meal can connect you to an unknown land. Works created by someone's hands can bring daily joy.
The organizers hope that this festival becomes a place where diverse people bring their own "culture" and move each other's hearts, fostering small moments of "fufufu" (a gentle laugh of delight) that grow in everyday life.
Guest Artists and Local DJ Performances
The live stage will feature performances by three guest artists: Kimyou Reitaro, Yuga, and Togo Kiyomaru.
The DJ booth area will feature local DJs playing a curated selection of music throughout the day.
Paid Viewing Area
A paid ticket is required to enter the viewing area in front of the live stage. Tickets are available for purchase for those who want to enjoy the live performances up close.
