School Festival | Osaka University of ArtsSun 11/2 – Mon 11/3, Osaka Prefecture

Every year, numerous live performance booths are set up, and music can be heard from all around at the school festival. There are also many food stalls, and attractions like the haunted house are so popular that tickets sell out quickly.
