On October 26, the “44th Nishinomiya Citizens’ Festival” was held around City Hall.
It’s one of the biggest festivals in Nishinomiya.
I went as well, so I’d like to share what it was like.
There were so many booths and events, so more than anything, I’d like you to take a look at lots of photos.
I’ll keep my comments to a minimum, so please enjoy it as if you were watching a silent film.
Passing through the gate and into the venue.
There was a venue map and an overall schedule.
The venue was broadly divided into areas such as the “Furusato Booths,” “Special Stage,” “Bazaar Plaza,” “Tourism Corner,” and “Umaimon Food Stall Market.”
Now, let’s take a look at photos from each area.
Furusato Booths
This was an area where various groups from around the city had booths to promote their activities.
There were exhibits, hands-on experiences, and all kinds of things to enjoy.
Apparently, this was the first time the Judicial Scriveners Association had set up a booth, and the judicial scriveners were working hard to promote their profession.
The Community Association, familiar from “Miyacco,” also had a booth.
At the “Heisei Rehabilitation College” booth, they gave us a health check.
They said they can get a general idea by measuring three things: grip strength, tongue pressure, and calf circumference.
My grip strength was slightly below average, but my tongue pressure and calf circumference were above average.
In particular, my tongue pressure was apparently far above the upper limit of the standard deviation, and the teacher who measured it was surprised.
Why is my tongue that strong…
Next to the Furusato Booths, they were holding a City Council Experience Tour.
The council members were doing their best to call people over.
Special Stage
The Halloween Awards were taking place on the special stage right at that moment.
The winners were receiving awards from the mayor.
Bazaar Plaza
At Bazaar Plaza, various groups from around the city had booths selling food, drinks, and miscellaneous goods.
There was also a section run by university students.
This is Mr. Nakano from the Nishinomiya Citizens’ Festival Executive Committee.
