If you are somewhere in Japan and you want to experience the world, you don’t have to travel overseas. You just have to get yourself to our festival site sometime between Aug 5-11! We don’t just use “Worlds Meet” as our catch copy… We bring you what we say.

Does the world itself know enough about our festival? No!

A big shout out to all the people who help us spread the word. All the staff who run around town with posters and fliers, all the people who are adding a “#wmdf” on social media posts, and all the artists, audience, staff, booth owners and townspeople who say great things about our events to everyone they know.

Then there are the media professionals. Here is FM Iruka’s Live Main Atlas Stage Broadcast Booth on Day 5:

And the latest sample from Hakodate’s print media.

Finally thanks to all the artists, audience, and staff for answering the questions of our WMDF interviewers. So many voices to be heard!
