What happens?
There are food stalls, dance performances, traditional arts from Japan and the Philippines, pop, hip-hop and jazz shows (with some big names in Filipino and Japanese pop alike making an appearance), comedians, and cosplay. For the brave and/or talented, there’s also a karaoke and dance competition.
The event also takes place in Nagoya from June 19 to 21 at Hisaya Odori Park.
