Yoyogi Park Events Square

Explore Africa’s vibrant cuisines, music, dance, art and fashion at this year’s Africa Heritage Festival at Yoyogi Park Event Square. Returning to Tokyo this June, the festival takes place on June 20 and 21, featuring food trucks serving dishes from across the continent alongside a bazaar selling folk crafts and goods from around the world. The highlight of the event is the Japan-Africa Friendship Memorial African Parade that’s scheduled from 2pm on June 21. This celebration will feature musicians on djembe drums accompanying a mikoshi (Japanese portable shrine) with African motifs – a symbolic testament to the long friendship between Japan and many African nations. Anyone is free to join in the fun.

Get ready to soak up the vibrant energy and infectious beats of Jamaica at Yoyogi Park this June, bringing together the best of Jamaican culture with a full day of reggae rhythms, sizzling festival grub and high-energy performances. The main stage will feature selectors spinning classic 7-inch reggae records, as well as dancehall and roots reggae performances to energise the crowd. Don’t miss the live painting sessions and participatory ‘Let’s Dance’ programmes, designed for everyone to jump in and dance alongside seasoned reggae heads. While you’re there, don’t miss the Jerk Chicken Fest, which is happening alongside the main performance programme. Top jerk chicken vendors from across Japan will converge to showcase their takes on the dish, all packed with Caribbean flavour.

Eco-conscious Tokyoites descend on Yoyogi Park for the quarterly Earth Garden, which this time will boldly transform into a three-day night market, titled the Stars and Sun Market, a spinoff of the popular seasonal Tokyo Night Market. As always, the festival will feature a wide array of shopping booths offering nature-inspired crafts, lifestyle goods and more, alongside organic food stalls and hands-on workshops. While details for 2026 are still under wraps, expect flamenco performances, as this year's festival theme is Spain. What's more, the festival's popular freestyle bon odori dance sessions under the stars are set to return, accompanied by live music and performances.

Expect a colourful, caipirinha-fuelled, energy-packed weekend as the Brazil Festival takes over Yoyogi Park's event square on July 18 and July 19.
