Why You Should Visit
A walk-around music festival started by local volunteers to link the Nishi-ku and Fukushima-ku neighbourhoods along Naniwasuji. For its third year there is a free Park Fest in the east section of Utsubo Park with three stages, food trucks and fairground stalls; a Live Circuit across cafés, open plazas and a university campus; and the return of a bar-hopping "bal" around Noda and Fukushima. About 120 acts, from amateurs to professionals, are expected. Suits families who want to listen to music in the park as well as anyone looking to discover new local spots.
