Why You Should Visit
A two-day market in the former Namura Shipyard in Kitakagaya, bringing together about 150 makers across art, craft, fashion, food and music; the organisers call it a "school festival for grown-ups". For its second edition it teams up for the first time with DIALOGUE, a Kyoto craft exhibition, adding an area for craft sales and demonstrations. You can talk to the makers while picking out one-off clothing, homeware and artworks, and there is food from popular Osaka spots plus live music on the first day. Good for anyone who wants to explore the industrial shipyard building and the art spaces scattered around Kitakagaya.
