2026 Event Details

Founded in 2012

The first Japan Festival Boston was hosted in 2012, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the gift of cherry blossom trees from Tokyo to Washington D.C. Since then, we have grown to become the largest Japanese festival on the East Coast.

Tradition

Join us in our annual celebration of Japanese culture and enjoy food, music, dancing, vendors, community organizations, interactive workshops, cosplay fashion shows, and so much more.
