What is Hibiya Festival?

As an event unique to Japan's Broadway "Hibiya", the event started in 2018 with the thoughts of "I want to release the heat of the theater to the city!" And "I want to make it a city where you can enjoy entertainment with the sky and greenery!"
The Sunday Festival is a theater festival where you can enjoy performance stages such as musicals, Japanese dance, opera, and dance for free in the open air, along with the greenery and nature of the city. From this year, we have established an online venue as the first attempt at the Sunday Festival so that more people can enjoy it.
