Art Festivals & Events

Sado Island’s annual music festival Earth Celebration has been connecting and delighting people from around the globe for 38 years.

Every year since 1988, the rich natural splendor of Sado has set the stage for arts and culture festival Earth Celebration (EC). Hosted by world-renowned taiko ensemble Kodo and its home, Sado Island, EC seeks an alternative global culture through musical and cultural collaborations with artists and festivalgoers from around the world. The result is three days of exciting performances featuring Kodo and special guests, unique opportunities to enjoy the culture, nature, and tastes of Sado, and much more.
