Why You Should Visit
Suita's own festival, run by the Suita Festa Executive Committee (secretariat: Suita City) at Expo '70 Commemorative Park from 10am to 8pm. The Festival Plaza in front of the Tower of the Sun hosts food booths and a stage with 29 music and performance acts, an impersonation show, a Halloween mini stage featuring My Melody and Kuromi, and the evening "Suita Halloween Night". The Upper Plaza becomes a kids' park, and the Lower Plaza hosts the "Mini Expo" and "Suita Biyori" areas. Suita residents get in free with a ticket handed out on the day, and stage programs have sign-language interpreters. A good pick for families looking to spend the public holiday outdoors.
