The first Kitamoto Folk Jamboree was held in August 2019.
After that, it was not possible to hold the event due to the coronavirus pandemic, but we are finally able to hold it this year in 2024.
The enthusiasm of Peter Ken Okuda (PKO), instructor of the Flets Guitar Orchestra, and the orchestra members, who continue to be active with the desire to make Kitamoto a thriving music town, have borne fruit.
Japanese folk legend Rokumonsen and other talented touring musicians will gather at the Kitamoto City Cultural Center Hall and put on a wonderful performance.
