Ibaraki Bakuon Fest is pronounced “Ibaraki Bakuon Fest,” with “bakuon” written as “the sound of barley.” It’s a festival of beer and music. Also, “Fest” is the German way of saying “festival,” reflecting respect for and dedication to Germany, the home of beer. You can see that spirit in the featured food and the lineup of artists as well.
