The Happy Music Festival event this Saturday celebrates the 8th anniversary of Koza Music Town Sound Market.

The event is divided in two parts; “The Time Contact with Music’ and ‘The Time to Enjoy Sounds and Goods’.

A hula performance starting at 3:50 p.m. will conclude the first part.

The second art of the festival has people enjoying music while eating foods and a few cold suds at a one-day-only “Beer Café” to be opened on the street in front of the Music Town. The café serves snack-style foods like yakitori and yakisoba, and sweets that are guaranteed ladies will love. All are designed to be a perfect match to cold beer.

The café will be open from 5 to 9 p.m., during which local artists take turns on stage. As a special live performance, the first X-Factor Okinawa champion, Sky’s The Limit, and All Japan Goith, a local band playing a mix of Ska, Latin and Okinawan music will be on stage together starting 8 p.m.

Other evening performers include Mahalo Hula Studio performance and Miss. Children, a cover band for a popular Japanese band Mr. Children.
