The Japan Festival Foundation organizes an annual festival. The next festival takes place on the 4th of November. The details of the festival are published on the other parts of this website.

The Japan Festival Foundation finances the costs of the festival through sponsorship of institutions and companies as well as a small part from the income of sale of refreshments by third parties during the festival.
