Come out for a fun evening full of Studio Ghibli themed activities & kawaii (cute) vendors!
Highlights:
- At sundown (~7pm), pull up your lawn chair to watch an outdoor free screening of Kiki's Delivery Service - a classic family friendly Ghibli film!
- Join the scavenger hunt for the Mononoke Kodamas hidden throughout the market! Winners who find them all get a kawaii prize at the end :)
- Come dressed in your best kawaii outfit to show off at the Kawaii Fashion Showcase! Walk the red carpet on stage to show off your favorite outfit, whether you made it or pieced it together! Connect with fellow J-Fashion enthusiasts :) 5-6pm
- Play traditional festival games with a kawaii twist at our Activities booth like Ring Toss (on Ramune bottles), Goldfish (toy) scooping, and make a Ghibli themed craft as a souvenir !
- Get a taste of Spirited Away's festival scene by walking around the vendors tents under string lights & lanterns ! Maybe you'll find a better deal than Chihiro did.
- Eat dinner at the festival at the on-site food truck, or walk up to the nearby O'Malley's pub for takeout.
The event is free to the public to attend. Some activities may charge a fee to play. Event hosted at Anime Paradaisu on Hollyridge Dr, Raleigh, NC in the Oak Park Shopping Center right off of US-70.
