The stage for this event is the expansive lawn square and the lab/workshop space.
For these three days, the entire park will transform into a field of play and experience!
## Workshops to create, play, and be absorbed in
Many hands-on experiences will appear, such as leather keyholder making, wooden toy crafting, kaleidoscope, and candle making. These activities allow children and adults alike to enjoy the fun of 'creating by themselves'. The time spent cooperating with parents to complete a work, or experiencing the creation of one's own original item, will remain in the heart as a cherished memory.
## Open time to enjoy with music
Family concerts and participatory music events will also be held. You can enjoy a special time in nature while experiencing music on the lawn. Spending a relaxed time with family under the blue sky, feeling the gentle breeze, is one of the charms of this event.
## The final day is a festival day
On May 5th (Tuesday/Holiday), a children's mikoshi (portable shrine) parade and Japanese drum (wadaiko) experience will be held. The entire venue will become a lively day where everyone comes together. Furthermore, from 6:30 PM on the same day, a 'Night Picnic Cinema' is planned on the lawn square. The charm of this event is that you can enjoy it all day, from daytime events to evening.
## 3 days to create family memories in nature
