Event highlights
Pairing Live Music with Yokohama's 18 Ward Mascots
This year introduces the theme "All About Yokohama" for the first time. Over 30 artist groups will perform across music stages spanning rockabilly, gospel, jazz, and various other genres. The eclectic lineup is set up to let visitors experience a wide variety of sounds right in the heart of Yokohama.
Alongside the music, visitors can enjoy stamp rallies and quizzes featuring local mascot characters from each of Yokohama's 18 wards. It offers an engaging way to explore the venue on foot beyond simply watching the performances. Because specific artist names, stage schedules, and activity participation details are not listed in the published announcement, visitors interested in particular programs should check the official website for the latest updates.
From the Open-Air Market to the Bon Dance Finale
The market features over 100 stalls offering food and drinks, as well as handmade goods and artwork. Combining visits to food vendors and artisan booths with live music and mascot activities is one of the festival's main highlights. Because vendor names and specific menus are not detailed in the published notice, check official updates if you are looking for something in particular.
The festival concludes with the communal "Hotch Potch Bon Dance." This festive traditional dance is planned as a grand finale, bringing people of all generations and musical tastes together. Sticking around for this closing program is a great way to round off a day of exploring the stages and market stalls.
