[Cultural Festival] Ranking of Popular Booth Ideas (31–40)
The Lion King36rank/position
An animated feature film released during the so-called Disney Renaissance of the 1990s, it grossed an impressive $980 million at the box office.
A fully CG remake was released in 2019, and in Japan, the Shiki Theatre Company’s stage adaptation is also well known.
Because all the characters are animals, preparations such as costumes can be challenging from the outset, but the story’s depth in portraying the law of the jungle in the natural world is likely to captivate many audiences.
With familiar insert songs that can get the entire venue excited, it’s a highly recommended piece for a school festival stage.
Cinderella37rank/position
Cinderella, which was adapted into an animated film by Disney based on a fairy tale and later made into a live-action film as well.
It’s a dream-filled story in which Cinderella, bullied by her stepmother and stepsisters, attends the royal ball with the help of magic and catches the eye of the prince.
The music in the Disney animated version is memorable, but it’s also recommended to collaborate with a school music club such as a wind ensemble and perform with live music! It can also be fun to use effects like smoke in scenes where she magically transforms into a dress.
If you create all the props and music from scratch, it will undoubtedly become a theatrical production that leaves lasting memories.
stamp rally38rank/position
The stamp rally at your high school cultural festival sounds like it’s going to be a big hit.
If you plan the stamp checkpoints and their content in coordination with the festival booths, it’ll make the rally even more fun.
Setting up stamp points in places that people don’t usually have access to can add a unique, festival-only feel.
Prepare stamp cards and prizes, and create your own original cultural festival stamp rally.
Work together and make it a stamp rally everyone will remember.
planetarium39rank/position
A planetarium might be the perfect attraction for a school festival—not only does it offer an extraordinary experience, but it also provides learning opportunities.
While you can make your own projector to display the stars—an essential part of any planetarium—if time is limited, renting one is recommended.
If you’re projecting in a classroom, you can cover the windows with cardboard or even build a handmade dome.
Adding original narration to explain the constellations will likely make it easier for visitors to understand and enjoy.
Spirited Away40rank/position
An animated feature film by Studio Ghibli that, since its 2001 release, held the top spot in Japan’s all-time box office for about 20 years.
Because it features many distinctive characters with non-human appearances, the production stage offers plenty of opportunities to showcase skill.
With its striking setting and rapidly unfolding story, it’s the kind of piece that both performers and audiences would enjoy presenting at a school festival.
In 2022, a stage adaptation—the first ever—was performed to commemorate Toho’s 90th anniversary, a testament to this masterpiece’s enduring appeal across generations.

fashion show41rank/position
A fashion show is sure to be a hit—not only at schools with fashion-related departments, but even at others as well.
You can come up with all sorts of variations, like dresses you’ve designed yourselves or yukata perfect for summer.
It might feel a bit cramped to hold it in a classroom, but with some creativity—letting people see the outfits up close or setting up a space to interact with the models after the show—you can definitely have fun with the audience even in a limited space! Making the costumes together with your teammates will also strengthen your sense of unity.
Hashimaki42rank/position
Let’s try recreating and making food stall menu items you’d find at a festival! Here’s an idea for hashimaki.
Hashimaki is a classic food stall dish, especially popular in the Kansai region.
It’s essentially a thin okonomiyaki rolled around chopsticks, making it easy to eat on the go.
This time, let’s make hashimaki using a recipe that closely matches the authentic food stall flavor.
Once your hashimaki is ready, try serving it in a plastic container or on a plate.
You’ll feel like you’re at a festival!
