Cultural Festival (Japan)
The Japanese Cultural Festival (文化祭, bunkasai?) is an annual event held by most schools in Japan, from Nursery schools to universities at which their students display their artistic achievements. People who want to enter the school themselves or who are interested in the school may come to see what the schoolwork and atmosphere are like. Parents may also want to see what kind of work their children have been doing. The festivals are usually open to the public, especially at high schools and universities.
