Edition 018 opened with Japanese calligraphy in the Park.

Street performers, beatboxing, shadow puppetry, folk dance, world music. Where else could you meet all these worlds? Make your plans to come down to the Park!

Here is our video of the 2025 artists welcome party. Warming up for a great week in the park. Thanks to mayoral representative Fujii-san for the greetings and gifts to all the groups, to Pokke-Dish for the catering, and to our amazing cameraman for putting this together so fast.

Artists from around Japan and the world gathered for the 18th Edition of WMDF, with a theme of “heart”. Starting today for 7 days in Motomachi Park. Don’t miss out!
