The 20
Festival goers are
encouraged to wear happi coats and participate in the Japanese folk dances.
Happi coats are cloth jackets, or robes, usually containing an emblem, family
crest, or logo on the back, and are worn on festive occasions. Live music
includes country, Cajun, rock & roll, and traditional Japanese music, and
each year, Daikin employees offer entertainment while playing the Japanese
Taiko Drums.
Along with traditional
festival food such as hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, and soft drinks, festival
goers are treated to Cajun jambalaya, barbeque sandwiches, and Japanese
Yakisoba, a stir-fried mix of noodles, cabbage, carrots, and beef. All food and
drinks are free of charge. In addition to free parking around the fairgrounds,
free round-trip shuttle service will be provided to the fairgrounds from
Decatur Mall and Austin High School.
Displays consist of a
product exhibit where guests can learn more about Daikin-America and its
products. Other displays include the Daikin Homestay Program, a program where
area students and teachers travel to Japan for a two-week stay. Free tethered
hot-air balloon rides are also available, weather permitting. The festivities
conclude with a grand prize drawing for a free vacation at 8:45 p.m.
