Field Report
This year marks the 34th Akita International Festival, which was held at the Akita Base Center Alve, and was attended by residents from a wide range of countries, regions, and age groups.
At the World Booth, foreigners living in the prefecture introduced the cultures of more than 20 countries and regions, as well as activities through international exchange organizations, and people were seen happily interacting with each other through the annual quiz rally and booth exhibitions.
This year, for the first time, we held a workshop to make Vietnamese paper lanterns.
People were able to experience Vietnamese culture while creating their own original paper lanterns.
On stage, eight groups performed various traditional dances and performances from different countries. Visitors also got to enjoy the cross-cultural experience clapping and dancing together in the crowd.
For the final performance, Indonesian traditional dance, foreigners living in Akita and visitors danced together. It was a very exciting finale.
