The 24rd Summer Festival was held on 20 Aug (Sat) at the Japanese school ( Changi) .Participants started queuing up as early as 8 hours before the admission time. When the gate opened at 5pm, great anticipation and excitement filled the air as participants poured into the school and formed long queues at the food and game corners. This year, we saw participation from a large turnout of over 8000 people. Some 4000 ingaporeans including Japanese language learners from the Secondary schools, Junior Colleges, Polytechnics and　Universities also had great fun at the Summer Festival. More Singaporeans come to the festival wearing their own Yukata. This year, about 500 volunteers including Recreational Committee members, Sports Committee members, Japanese schools teachers and students from the Polytechnics lent their support for the event. We wish to thank all the volunteers for their great assistance!
