Japanese flair

VILLAJOYOSA will host the third Manga and Japanese Culture Fair on Saturday, September 16.

It is expected that more than 2,000 people will attend the fair, held in the park of the La Barbera dels Aragonès estate, and aimed at families.

Children can participate in a myriad of activities throughout the day such as pocketball workshops, Harry Potter potions, cat necklaces, live role playing, Quidditch tournaments, Pokemon geocaching, Japanese cooking workshops, fan meetings, movie screenings, karaoke, board games, K­Pop dance, a Cosplay contest and the Gatetemon concert.

“We want it to be an interesting and fun day of coexistence between young fans of Japanese culture. The previous editions recorded a significant success of participation and we hoped to exceed these figures, since the expectation of both participants and visitors is very positive,” said the councillor for Youth, Carlos Soler.

Registration for the workshops will take place at the stands installed in Barbera park on the same day of the fair.
