http://www.kyotokango.ac.jp

It’s the school festival of Kyoto Nursing University. In addition to student-run food stalls, a variety of stage events will be held. In past years, there were activities like a karaoke contest, a cross-dressing (male-to-female and female-to-male) contest, and even a bingo tournament. It looks like there will also be a manzai comedy stage, so that should be fun.
