World Meet Bar of this year was excellent! This event is held every June or July as a pre-event of WMDF.

Thank you for coming to WMB.

We were afraid bad weather might come, but we escaped. We made tent front of entrance and we enjoyed drinking there. It was great time!

We made our third artists announcement, to build excitement of event for this year.

2019 will see artists from Algeria and Argentina for the first time.

第012回芸術祭、出演アーティスト発表第１弾！

第012回芸術祭、出演アーティスト発表第２弾！

Children from many countries will gather during this long winter in Hokkaido!

The “Children of the World” Festival is a heart-warming event of world dance, music, chorus and friendship. Youth artists collaborate with local children to build this festival together.

For this sixth edition, there are three groups from overseas: “Tasima”, “G-Next” from Russia and “The Lan Yang Dancers” from Taiwan. They are accompanied and supported by local youth groups from Hakodate, plus a special appearance by the young-at-heart Hinokiya.

The high quality performances by children at this event always impress the adult audience. We are waiting to present you with a unique atmosphere to chase away the winter blues.
