Historic Milestone: JAPAN Fes to Host 80+ Global Events in 2026
by Mayumi Tomita on Mar 2, 2026
With over 1,000,000 projected annual attendees and 2,000 vendors, we proudly host the world's largest Japanese food festival where we’re building a vibrant community filled with joy, culture, flavors, and the spirit of Wa (harmony). We are set to make history in 2026 by hosting an unprecedented 80+ events globally, including New York, Paris, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, and Tokyo. JAPAN Fes continues to expand its reach, bringing authentic Japanese experiences to more cities than ever before.
By hosting 66 events in 2025, following its remarkable success in New York, New Jersey, Texas, Florida, Tokyo, and Paris, JAPAN Fes is entering its most ambitious year yet. Building on strong momentum across these major markets, the festival is expanding into new cities and we are also set to deliver record-breaking events in the locations where we successfully hosted JAPAN Fes in the past years.
With increasing public enthusiasm and a growing appetite for Japanese culture, the festival is scaling up to meet demand, reinforcing its position as a key driver of cultural exchange and community engagement.
JAPAN Fes is not about one-time festivals. By returning to the same cities again and again, we create places people come back to —where familiarity grows, trust deepens, and community is formed.
JAPAN Fes spirit is rooted in Japanese values such as hospitality, mutual respect, and living in harmony with others and with nature.
The festival season begins in Florida on March 6 and 8 at Miami Marine Stadium, bringing authentic Japanese flavors and vibrant cultural experiences to the Miami community.
The following week, JAPAN Fes continues in Texas with events on March 12 and 13 at Republic Square.
In Europe, the celebration takes place in Paris on March 14 and 15, in front of the iconic Arc de Triomphe.
Meanwhile, in New York City, JAPAN Fes kicks off in the East Village on March 28, starting another exciting season.
JAPAN Fes is going everywhere in the world, creating a bridge to Japan through food, culture, and community.
