Past events
earth garden “Winter”Sun 1/18 – Mon 1/19, Tokyo
Hosted by the web magazine “earth garden,” this event is a community festival themed around an “organic and ecological lifestyle,” featuring not only live performances but also talk sessions, eco- and organic-focused shops, and food and drink booths lining the venue. While earth garden originally functioned as an event production office, it gradually began operating media as well, approaching the management of outdoor festivals as a form of media in itself. This edition is the first of the four annual events and marks the winter installment.
