On May 26 (Sat.), Shinjuku City held the fifth Multicultural Disaster Prevention Festa Shinjuku at Okubo Park. About six hundred people joined in, and through cross-cultural experiences both Japanese and non-Japanese people learned a lot about disaster prevention while having a great time. International stage performances included singing and dancing from various cultures, and many people visited the food market area, which featured foods from around the world.
