Horseshoe Crab Environmental Festival

About this event

The 'Horseshoe Crab Environmental Festival' will be held to present the horseshoe crab, the symbol of Kasaoka City, nationwide as a barometer of the environment. Aiming to achieve nature positive by protecting nature, stopping biodiversity loss, and putting it on a recovery trajectory, this event serves as a catalyst for corporations, citizens, researchers, related organizations, and the government to work collaboratively. Its purpose is to nurture affection for Kasaoka and enhance the town's value through continuous conservation activities. At the venue, a variety of events are scheduled, including a report by Konai Elementary School, a Horseshoe Crab Environmental Summit (featuring representatives from Saijo City, Imari City, Kitsuki City, and Kasaoka City as panelists), a dance performance by Kabutoganix, a Horseshoe Crab Environmental Collaboration Declaration, and a Nature Positive Declaration. Furthermore, in the foyer, there will be a Horseshoe Crab Certification Test, sales of various foods, drinks, horseshoe crab manju (steamed buns), and cookies, merchandise sales from summit participant cities and the Horseshoe Crab Museum, as well as a product contest. Many environment-related exhibitions and workshop booths will also be set up, including a horseshoe crab research exhibition by Kasaoka Commercial High School, horseshoe crab making with LEGO, booths by FP Corporation and The Chugoku Electric Power Co., Inc., and horseshoe crab booths by students who conducted research and presentations at the kickoff event. Admission is free.
