The 2015 season for Marine Corps Community Services entertainment festivals is here, firing up the organization’s energies for the Camp Foster Festival this weekend.

A Day To Remember rock band headlines the entertainment lineup Saturday.

The free festival is open at Camp Foster both Saturday and Sunday from 2 p.m. ~ 10 p.m.  The festival is open to all with Department of Defense identification, as well as to Japanese citizens.  Entry to the camp is only through Gate 5, the Kitamae Commissary Gate, for Japanese citizens.

Festival-goers can be prepared to experience everything that makes a festival worth celebrating, with free top-notch entertainment, amusement rides, Kiddie Land for the children and a variety of festival foods such as yakitori, yakisoba, and spare ribs.  The most anticipated event at the festival is featured entertainment from A Day to Remember on Saturday evening.

    The branch and the
    immensity.

    On the pathway

    a dry leaf and

    the scent of

    a flower that

    shines in the

    morning to

    discover your

    sadness….
