Attractions & Extras
Golden River Veil Fest is far more than a music festival — it's a full summer experience. From the iconic beachfront ferris wheel to art installations, workshop zones, and pop-up galleries, there's something for every moment between the stage sets.
Our Arts & Culture Village hosts rotating exhibitions by Japanese contemporary artists, live mural painting sessions, and interactive digital art installations. The Craft Market features over 100 independent artisans selling handmade goods, vintage fashion, and festival accessories.
Health & Safety
Our dedicated welfare and medical team operates 24 hours a day throughout the festival. The main Medical Station, staffed by qualified doctors, nurses, and paramedics, is located near the main entrance and is always clearly signposted in red. Satellite first-aid points are also stationed near each stage.
We take a harm reduction approach to festival wellbeing. Confidential mental health support and welfare services are available at the Welfare Tent (identified by a green cross). No judgment — just help.

What to Bring
August in Shonan

August in Japan brings very strong UV rays. Apply sunscreen every 2 hours — we provide free sunscreen application stations throughout the venue. Wearing a hat and staying hydrated is strongly recommended. Free drinking water refill stations are located at every major zone.
