【Finished】The 13th Kyoto Student Festival will be held in the Okazaki Park area in front of Heian Jingu Shrine!

Business Overview

Students from Kyoto, who transcend the boundaries of universities, form an executive committee and engage in daily activities with the aim of disseminating “Kyoto as a student city” to society, further revitalizing the Kyoto area, and creating new attractions in collaboration with the business community, the government, the local community, and the university.
After a variety of community exchange activities throughout the year, such as the promotion of the original creative odori “Kyoen Sodefure!” and water sprinkling activities, a grand festival is held every October as the culmination of these activities.
The University Consortium Kyoto has set the goal of “student growth” in the daily activities of the Student Executive Committee, and is providing support aimed at “student independence” that allows students to think and act on their own, and supports the implementation of what has been accumulated in the course of activities since the establishment of the Executive Committee so that it can be maximized at the main festival in October.

Outline of the event

As the culmination of various exchange activities throughout the year, the theme of “Kyoto” and “International” will attract visitors with a variety of genres such as dance, food, music, and sports. In addition, from this year, Okazaki Park will be renovated, and a main stage will be set up on the newly reborn Jingu Road with Otenmon in the background, and students will plan various performances. Centered on a powerful stage that overlooks the entire venue, all kinds of productions create a sense of unity throughout the venue.
