Japan Street Fair will be held on West 72nd Street, between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue starting at 10 am, and will conclude at 5 pm. The Japan Street Fair will feature tents offering fun and educational cultural activities including calligraphy, water balloon yo-yo fishing, origami, Hello Kitty photo opportunities, and a giveaway. The latest information on Japan’s many tourist destinations will be made available at an information tent, and as with last year, there will also be a tent where visitors may donate to a charitable cause. For this year, we will be collecting donations to aid the victims of the ongoing War in Ukraine, and those who are affected by the recent Turkey-Syria Earthquake.

Japan Street Fair 2023’s food tents are prepared by JETRO, the Japan External Trade Organization, and JAPAN Fes, one of the largest organizers of Japanese food festivals in the world that hosts over 20 Japanese food fair events a year in New York City. This year, the street fair will feature about 25 tents serving authentic Japanese street food.
