On November 3 (Fri) and 4 (Sat), 2023, the 62nd Shimonoseki City University University Festival "Maguan Festival" was held under the slogan "Be ambitious, move out."

　This slogan incorporates the students' desire to revive the Maguan Festival, which was once discontinued due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to create a new Maguan Festival that has evolved further.

　This year, the main stage was set up in the SDS Driving Arena (gymnasium), and not only students but also citizens came to the event. On the first day, a dance show, a Ramne early drinking tournament, and a free live comedy entertainer were held. The main event on the second day is the bingo tournament. The venue was crowded with many audiences aiming for luxurious prizes.

　On the ground, there were mock shops where circles opened, and yakitori, meat buns, cotton candy, etc. were sold. In the eating and drinking space, there were many local people and their families, and we were able to hear that they were chatting happily.

　The students have spent their college life with regrets due to the COVID-19 pandemic, restricting various activities. I think that this Maguan Festival will lead to more active exchanges between students and local residents.
　
　We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the local community for their understanding and cooperation in holding the Maguan Festival and the companies for their cooperation.
