Along with popular German and Belgian brands, there will also be ales from Italy, England, Scotland, Wales and Turkey. For a more varied cultural experience, the French Institute, German Institute (Goethe Institut), Irish Network Japan and Lithuanian Embassy will all have booths promoting their respective countries. There is also a fantastic list of performers, from French chanson, European jazz, Swedish folk - everything from yodeling to Irish rock - that will offer something for young and old, families and single visitors alike. A further note on the entertainment: There will be a Spanish trio to go along with the paella and sangria, German yodeling and alphorn music to accompany the Weiss bier, cider to go with the English Rock and plenty of Belgian craft ale or fine Italian birra to enjoy alongside the Jazz performances. Let’s not forget the dancing either! There will be shows from Sweden, Ireland, Scotland, as well as flamenco and Turkish belly dancing. If you like to get your own moves on then there will be a dance floor where hot DJs from Europe will be working the crowd. Later in the evening, the Eurofest will feature some of the most accomplished European musicians playing in Japan, folks usually found playing on Japan TV, radio, at hotels, or in other exclusive events. It will be rare chance to see them all come together at one place and one time. All-in-all this is set to be the must attend festival of summer 2014!
