A catalog of recommended festival booths for school culture festivals, with ideas that will shine on social media.

Fruits in tea

On hot days, drinks really fly off the shelves.

So here’s a photogenic fruit-infused iced tea to showcase.

Arrange round slices of fruit to decorate a clear cup—lemon and grapefruit work great.

Add ice to hold the fruit in place, pour in iced tea, then top it off with diced fruit.

Dried fruits and nuts are also popular additions.

Adjust the sweetness with honey or syrup to make it a hit with everyone.

You can also switch it up with colored sodas—have fun experimenting!

Mango yogurt

Refreshing and visually appealing, mango yogurt seems like it would be a hit at a school festival.

Let’s make it with plain yogurt, diced mango, and mango sauce.

If you use frozen mango, you might be able to enjoy a nicely chilled mango yogurt.

Pre-cut frozen mango is available year-round and saves you the prep work of cutting, so it’s recommended.

Using a clear cup may also let you enjoy the beautiful mango yogurt gradient.

Taiwanese drink! Douhua

Do you know douhua? It’s written with the characters for “tofu flower” and pronounced “doufa.” Recently, specialty shops have opened, and it’s been appearing more often on trendy café menus.

Douhua is a traditional Taiwanese dessert—think something like tofu or almond jelly.

It’s cold and refreshing, and it’s sure to be a hit at a hot-day school festival.

It hasn’t gone fully mainstream yet, but it’s definitely a hot topic, and I bet many people are curious about it.

You can serve it in a bowl like ice cream, or in a cup like a bubble tea—there are tons of ways to customize it!

A drink with amber sugar and cotton candy

Do you know the Japanese confection called kohakutou (amber sugar)? If you like traditional sweets, you’ve probably tried it at least once.

It’s a simple, old-fashioned treat made by dissolving sugar and food coloring into agar.

If you increase the agar and make it softer like yokan, it becomes a sweet called kohakukan.

Kinda makes you crave some, doesn’t it? How about offering a colorful drink that uses kohakutou? Combine it with colored ice or jelly to boost the visual appeal! It’s sure to catch everyone’s eye.

And make good use of the effect of dissolving cotton candy, too!

chai tea

A blissful moment: I indulged in my beloved chai. #Talkwith_ #Chai #NAGAYArt

A stylish chai tea with a special feel would probably be popular if you sold it at a school festival booth.

If you want to set up a booth at the festival, let’s discuss and decide on things like the menu, toppings, and whether to offer iced or hot versions as we plan.

It might also help the service run smoothly on the day if you decide in advance which spices to use for the chai.

Offering sweetness levels—less sweet, regular, or sweeter—could make it easier for customers to choose.

Recommended toppings include cinnamon powder, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream!

maid cafe

High School Student Idea Division Grand Prix: “Afterlife Café (Maid Café) — Welcome home, dear temple patrons!♡” / Kaede Iwamoto

Here’s a fun idea if it ever comes to life! Introducing a “Meido” Café—playing on the words “maid” and “afterlife.” This humorous concept is sure to draw attention.

Decorate the classroom with a temple theme and give visitors nicknames styled like posthumous Buddhist names.

For drinks and food, offer a unique service where staff cast a playful spell—“Oishiku nare, nen-nen kyun!”—before serving.

Feel free to use this as inspiration and add your own twist.

cheese hot dog

How to Make Korean Cheese Hot Dogs with Pancake Mix [kattyanneru]

Cheese hotdogs, a Korean-origin dish that went viral on social media! They look like corn dogs, but inside it’s all cheese.

Take a bite and the cheese stretches long—perfect for Instagram! Also, if you can make the batter that wraps the cheese chewy rather than like a typical corn dog, even better.

It’s great to offer two types: one coated in sugar and another finished with ketchup and mustard, so people can enjoy choosing their favorite.
