Serbia went to perform for the Mayor plus an assorted throng of City Hall workers lining the balconies, and WMDF groups spread the magic around Motomachi Park.

Day 2 features yet more additions to the lineup, and Outreach events around town.

Evening stages made the most of Hakodate’s balmy summer nights. Tomorrow, we will be doing our best to dodge the rain.
