Held every November in Shizuoka City, the Daidogei World Cup is a four-day festival of international street performance. The main site is Sunpu Park in the city centre: there are more than ten stages here, hosting performances by acrobats, aerialists, contortionists, clowns, comedians, jugglers, and plenty more besides. There's also a beer garden and scores of stands selling food, drink, gifts, and everything else you might need to enjoy all the entertainment.
