[Part 2] Urban Festival 'Bakushoku Onmatsuri GW' Gathering Fragments of Expo Love

Fusing Expo Enthusiasm with 'Entertainment'

'Bakushoku Onmatsuri' is being held as an 'After Expo Fest' that aims to give back to the local community rather than letting the international exchange and cultural experiences born at the Expo end as a passing phase.

As a new urban festival that inherits the enthusiasm and connections of the Expo and links cultures together, we aim for continuous value creation.

Expanding Participating Countries, Over 60 Countries Gather

Since the first announcement, the participating countries and regions have expanded further.

This event has evolved into an international festival gathering over 60 countries, making it one of the largest post-Expo events.

Newly participating countries/regions confirmed: Poland, Syria, Zimbabwe, Madagascar, Kenya, Bahrain, and the GCC (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain).

We will create a space like a 'microcosm of the world' where diverse cultures intersect.
