Instagram-worthy ideas for a high school cultural festival: Popular photo spots (1–10)
Moon Chair
Whimsical yet fulfilling a childhood dream, here’s the idea of the “Moon Chair.” You’ve probably seen a scene at least once in fairy tales or children’s anime where a child sits on a crescent moon, right? Even as kids, we knew it wasn’t realistic, but we still longed for it a little.
This project makes that dream of sitting on a crescent moon come true.
Try making the moon out of thin boards or styrofoam.
If you secure it to a school desk, you might be surprised at how easily it comes together!
Umbrella flower
An “umbrella flower” is when you string wires between buildings and hang colorful umbrellas from them.
You’ll need plenty of wires and umbrellas, but the more you have, the more stunning the view will be when you look up.
First-time viewers are sure to be moved! You can choose any colors you like for the umbrellas, so making the festival’s theme color the main one is a great idea.
It’s so beautiful that people won’t be able to resist taking photos!
balloon arch
Balloon arches are a common sight at weddings and party venues.
Maybe you’ve wished you could make one easily yourself.
In that case, let me introduce the interlocking balloons sold at the 100-yen shop Seria.
These balloons are designed to be tied together, making it possible to shape them into an arch.
Normally, you would tie balloons to a base structure, but with these, you don’t need one.
Each pack contains 12 balloons, so the cost performance is excellent.
They’re also perfect for times when you have a little budget left over.
American diner

The staff’s costumes are also a great way to show your flair.
Let’s try recreating a classic, old-school American diner.
If you want to keep the menu simple, fried chicken, fries, and pancakes are recommended.
The simplest approach for all of them is to just heat them up in a microwave and serve.
For drinks, large-sized colas are perfect for intentionally giving it that American feel.
Give an immersive American-style diner a try!
Lantern decoration
We’d like to introduce a decoration idea using lanterns that’s trending on social media.
This concept involves installing colorful lanterns to create a vibrant atmosphere at the venue.
You can set up a wooden fence and hang the lanterns from it, or if it’s indoors, suspend them from the ceiling or hang them on stretched wires.
Feel free to get creative and tailor the setup to the location and theme.
It may be challenging to gather a large number of lanterns, but if you put LED lights inside, they can also serve as lighting at night.
Face-in-the-hole panel
Face-in-hole panels are now commonly seen not only at tourist spots but also at local shopping malls.
When you spot one, it’s hard to resist poking your face through and snapping a photo, isn’t it? If you’re making a face-in-hole panel for a school festival, using the school’s or the festival’s mascot character—or even modeling it after the teachers—could be a great idea! You might also set up students on a rotating schedule to take photos for visitors, so everyone can join in easily and have fun.
Chalkboard Art
When you think of must-have items at school, the blackboard comes to mind! Blackboard art, which uses that very board, has become a staple at various events, starting with graduation ceremonies.
It’s also, of course, popular at school festivals! A common setup is to draw wings or attach balloons so that when someone stands or sits in front of the board, the picture is completed.
The great thing about blackboard art is that it’s low-budget and can be prepared in advance.
Since every classroom has a blackboard, try creating unique blackboard art for each class.
