Welcome to JAPAN Fes Texas 2026!

JAPAN Fes Texas began last year in Austin, with three events that launched this new chapter.

And Texas did something special from the start —
it was the first JAPAN Fes to run into the night, creating a whole new kind of energy.

This year, we’re taking a big step forward —
10 events are planned across Texas.

Austin is back, of course — and we’re also expanding to Houston and Dallas.

As we continue to grow, we want this to feel like Team JAPAN Fes Texas —
not something run from the outside, but something we build together.

Let’s keep connecting, showing up, and creating new energy — together.
Let’s build JAPAN Fes Texas, together.

    • Influencer Marketing

      • How it works

        • Vendors must provide a product for free to influencers at JAPAN Fes, and participating influencers may choose to share the product on their social media, which may help increase overall exposure.

        • Additional influencers may also attend.

      • What vendors must do

        • Provide one free item of the main product/service per influencer. Only items approved by the organizer.

        • Provide items only to the influencer (do not give items to friends or companions).

      • Expected influencer count

        • We expect about 5–10 influencers, but the organizer does not guarantee the number of attendees.
