Day 1 Highlights
The Night Begins
At Shonan
Day 1 sets the tone for the entire festival. From the ceremonial taiko drums at sunrise to Yuki Tsukino's legendary moonlit finale, Saturday at Golden River Veil Fest is a day of discovery and magic.
The beach transforms as the sun sets over Sagami Bay, and the crowd becomes one under the stars. Every performance is a conversation between artist and ocean.
