JAPAN Fes Florida

Forget the 18-hour trek from Miami to Tokyo: you can now discover the tastes of Japan with just a short jaunt to JAPAN Fes in Coconut Grove. Touted as the largest Japanese food festival in the world, this sprawling street fair returns to Miami for its second installment after debuting in Miami Beach this past October. Vendors hail from Miami and New York, as well as other states and countries. Past festivals have featured foods like takoyaki, ramen, matcha sweets, yakisoba, karaage, okonomiyaki and lots more. Expect food, music and art across two days along the Grove's tree-lined streets. After you're full, shop for Japanese crafts and gifts featured at the festival. Grand Ave between McFarlane Rd and Rice St
