Romanticist and Shangri-LaNov 8 (Sat) – 9 (Sun), Nagano Prefecture

A camp festival born from the desire to build a community connected by camping and music. Not only pure campers, but also artist campers, workshop campers, campers who want to run a booth, comedian campers, DJ campers, campers who just want to stand out, campers who want to enjoy all of that, and even those with no experience but an interest—the camper reserves. A festival where everyone who loves camping can come together as one.
