earth garden “Summer”Fri 7/4–Sun 7/6, Tokyo
Organized by the web magazine “earth garden,” this event is a community festival themed around an “organic and ecological lifestyle,” featuring not only live performances but also talk sessions, eco-organic shops, and food and drink booths lined up together. Although earth garden originally operated as an event production office, it gradually began running media as well, approaching outdoor festival management as a form of media operation. This edition is the third of four annual events—the summer installment.
