Festival at Kagoshima University



Nov 16, 2019 - this festival runs from the 15th-17th.  We walked over to it this afternoon to check it out. (University is just right next to our apartment)  On my daily walks around campus, I noticed some new signs were posted about the festival, so thought we'd take a look.  There were 2 stages set up for performance groups, each at separate halves of the campus (there is a major public road going through the middle of the campus). The above photos were at the southern stage.  At first we watched from the front, then we got smart and went behind stage, where there were some benches to sit on.  Most of the booths were food vendors, trying to raise money for the different clubs at the university.  The far right booth on the top most photo had art students drawing portraits of people who are willing to pay 300 yen for 1 person, 500 yen for 2 persons.  Customers seemed happy with the results.
