Performers of all kinds respond to the open call to perform on the Fringe stage. This year the Fringe takes place on a special stage set up at the Harbour Market. Let’s enjoy taiko performances, shamisen story-telling, dance, folk music and other genres of performance that can only come together at Earth Celebration! Are you dying to share your artistry? We welcome you! Special for this year, thanks to support from Asano Taiko and Instrument Shop, wadaiko rentals are available. We heartily welcome taiko groups to the stage.
We are accepting on-line applications here on this form from May 20 (Fri) ~ June 30 (Thur). Join us!
We welcome both professional and amateur groups. There are no performance fees and groups are responsible for shipping their own instruments etc. Details on the wadaiko rentals will be released soon.
