Have you already decided what your class or club will do for your school’s cultural festival or school festival booth?

In this article, we’ll introduce a wide range of ideas: not only classic food and drink booths, but also interactive booths like games.

We’ve compiled everything from staple booths at cultural festivals to slightly unusual ideas, so be sure to use this as a reference!

Classic and recommended festival booths (21–30)

Sparkling drinks to enjoy from the 100-yen shop

100-yen stores keep evolving day by day.

From everyday staple seasonings and stationery to clever gadgets that make life easier, these shops have become indispensable in our daily lives.

How about selling sparkling drinks using “aurora powder” sold at these 100-yen stores? This aurora syrup makes ordinary liquids glow gently like the aurora—it’s wonderfully mesmerizing.

It also caters perfectly to today’s photo-worthy trends! Be sure to offer plenty of color variations using shaved ice syrups and more!

Fluffy Iced Matcha Latte

People have been saying there’s a matcha boom for quite some time, but I feel like matcha is no longer just a trend—it’s becoming a part of Japanese culture.

What do you think? Convenience stores always carry new matcha-flavored sweets, right? So let’s aim to be the most popular booth at the school festival with a “Fluffy Iced Matcha Latte.” The basics are simple: mix frozen matcha with frothed milk.

Add store-bought matcha chocolate or matcha cream as toppings, and you’ll have a refreshing-looking matcha latte.

Even the time spent planning the menu sounds fun.

Original Drink

Offering original drinks at the school festival sounds like a great way to stand out from other booths and build excitement! First, let’s decide what kind of drinks you want to make.

Choosing the flavor profile, whether to include ice, and how to decorate them will make it easier to finalize the menu—highly recommended.

Also decide how many types of original drinks you’ll offer.

Preparing both hot and iced options to match the season will likely boost popularity.

Definitely give it a try!

Sparkling Drink

There’s something called aurora powder.

It comes in pink, blue, and lots of other colors, and you can tint clear soda so it looks like the aurora is shimmering through it.

Hard to picture in words? Try searching for a related video—you’ll definitely find yourself thinking, “I want to make this!” You can also wrap cotton candy with aurora powder to add a little flair in the moments before it melts.

Combine it with edible glitter and you can make even more sparkling drinks.

If you care about looks above all, this is a wildly recommended pick.

Stylish drinks made with jelly

Let me introduce a stylish drink that uses jelly so you can enjoy both the look and the texture.

Put your favorite flavor of jelly into a cup.

Stir to break up the jelly, then add ice and pour in soda—just like a drink you’d get at a café.

It looks refreshing and cool, which is really lovely.

Try making it with your favorite flavors like strawberry, mandarin orange, or melon.

If you prefer it a bit sweeter, adding syrup is recommended.

Finish with a mint leaf garnish for a cool, refreshing drink!

Honey Matcha Soy Milk Latte

Mock tea ceremony events have started popping up in all kinds of places.

I don’t know all the detailed etiquette or steps, but tea enjoyed while sitting formally somehow carries a taste of tradition.

Everyone seems to love matcha.

A “Honey Matcha Soy Latte” that combines popular matcha with honey and soy milk might also be a hit! You can froth the soy milk or simply shake it with the matcha.

Drizzling the honey on top like a topping works nicely, too.

It could become a great talking point if sold alongside the tea ceremony club’s event!

Heart Drink

The heart mark that everyone loves.

It’s been used as a symbol for the heart since long ago, but did you know that shape also appears in Japanese architecture? When used in openwork carvings and the like, it’s called “inome,” which literally means “boar’s eye”—an intriguing name, isn’t it? If you made a drink covered in cute hearts like that, you’d be a surefire hit at a school festival! The showstopper is creating a big heart mark on the side of the glass with cream or melted marshmallow.

Add heart-shaped chocolates or cookies to finish it off as a lovely, love-themed drink!
