Free Stage

We build our home stage each year at the foot of Hakodate Mountain, between the night-time landmark Old Public Hall and the lights of the bay. This port site anchors us in the "Long Now" history of our town as well as representing our "Big Here" ambition to to be a conduit for global connections. The World Food Court we debuted in 2010 has grown into the "Mogu Mogu Festival" this year, so please come and experience a new WMDF atmosphere.

Gala

Each year, we program one event at an indoor stage. This is your chance to see our artists from the comfort of a concert hall seat. Many of our audience (and performers) report that this is one of their favourite artistic experiences at WMDF. In each WMDF to date, the weather has produced prolific rain on every day we have scheduled this indoor event, so cancel those camping plans on Aug 8, and come join us to explore other worlds in music.

Experience! Workshops

Be a part of continuing the transmission of culture and tradition. Learn from a different group in each workshop.

Fringe

The Free Stage, Gala and workshops are the core of WMDF, but our artists are also busy in many places around town. In our "Fringe" events, we visit schools and old peoples' homes and perform around Hakodate. Public Fringe events are listed below.
