After three years, WMDF is up-and running again, with artists arriving by plane and train from within Japan also from overseas. The pandemic limited international opportunities, but here we are greeting our representatives from Lithuania at the airport.

Atalyja will represent our hopes that this year can be a step towards re-building, a culture of mixing worlds together in Hakodate.

The stages in Motomachi Park start tomorrow, but already WMDF artists are spreading entertainment throughout the town, wth our Outreach program that visits, well, places that invite us. This year kicked off with some local festivals and some residents associations. Hoping you have a great summer!
