Earth Celebration 2011
Update:2012.03.30
Feel the beat reverberating between humans and the earth at this exciting international festival!
Sado Island is the home of the world famous taiko drum ensemble Kodo, and every August they invite artists and performers from around the world to join them for their international arts festival, “Earth Celebration.”
The festival offers a range of attractions including outdoor concerts at Shiroyama Park, EC Theatre (special indoor concert), workshops, fringe events (free-admission performances by invited and general guests), and the Harbour Market (food/drink, crafts, ethnic goods, et al). As the name suggests, "Earth Celebration" transcends borders and cultures to bring a brilliant collage of art and music to a very special corner of the world. Come and celebrate with us!
