Since 1986, JapanFest Weekend has been the annual celebration of Japan’s bond of friendship with the people of the United States. 

We are proud to announce that this year’s venue space will be more than twice as large with more entrance and exit points, improved layout for better traffic flow and shorter lines. More stages, performances and a dedicated exhibit hall for the food court will also mean enhanced visitor experience for everyone.

The festival, now in its 37th year, is one of the largest Japanese festivals in the U.S. and typically draws crowds exceeding 20,000.

Thank you for your support of JapanFest 2023. We look forward to having you be part of the largest Japanese festival in the Southeast.
