Festival highlights

A highlight is the “unusual sports day,” featuring events such as ball toss, a scavenger race, a bread-and-candy eating race, and a cola chugging contest.

The stage program is planned to include live performances by Guitar Panda and Nakanishi Lemon & Suzume no Tears, Bon Odori by the Kanazawa Minyo Association, and DJ entertainment.
