Zenbird Editorial TeamReuse event “Junkan Fes” has been scheduled for 27 May at Umekoji Park in Kyoto City.
Junkan Fes is an event that began in 2022 with the aim of creating a new circular movement involving the younger generation and players related to reuse, primarily in Kyoto City. The event offers a variety of activities such as the free-to-participate used clothing collection and distribution initiative “¥0 Market,” workshops and exhibitions where attendees can enjoy and learn about reuse and recycling, and stage events. Additionally, there is a food court featuring carefully selected ingredients that everyone can feel safe to enjoy, making it a fun event for all.
Similar to the previous event, Junkan Fes will also include the “¥0 Market,” “Used clothing collection corner,” “Circular Market,” and “Circular Marche.” It is recommended that attendees bring their own bags, tableware, and other reusable items when participating.
