Hanno City have confirmed the summer festival will be on in 2023. However, apart from the date, they have yet to provision any further details. The Hanno City website just gives the dates and times and says to check the Hanno Tourism website for further details. However, as of July 5th 2023, they have yet to add any information. So unfortunately this post is short on detail and is more of an ‘fyi’ that the festival is on in 2023.
