The pre-festival event for Nagoya’s summer tradition, the “Nippon Domannaka Festival,” was held.
This year marks the 27th “Nippon Domannaka Festival.” At Hisaya Odori Park, where the main stage is located, the pre-festival event was held, and participants immediately showcased their passionate dancing.
Additionally, at the food and drink corner “Gurume Park,” a booth by the festival’s diamond sponsor, Suntory, has been set up. Visitors can enjoy four types of draft beer with fine foam, as well as “Sui Gin Soda,” which is perfect for hot days.
The “Nippon Domannaka Festival” will continue until Sunday.
Nippon Domannaka Festival
The Nippon Domannaka Festival is a large-scale modern dance festival held annually in August in Nagoya, Japan. It was established in 1999 to revitalize the city center and has since grown into a major event where thousands of participants perform a synchronized dance. The festival’s name, translating to “the middle of Japan,” reflects Nagoya’s geographic location and the event’s aim to unite people.
Hisaya Odori Park
Hisaya Odori Park is a large, modern public park located in the heart of Nagoya’s Sakae district. It was developed in the late 1980s as part of an urban renewal project and is built directly above a massive underground shopping complex. The park is famous for its expansive green spaces, seasonal flower displays, and for hosting major city events and festivals.
