About this event
"Eco Festa 2026 Ikaruga", organized by the Ikaruga Town Global Warming Countermeasures Regional Council (nickname: Ecoruga), will be held. Designed for spending an eco-friendly and fun day, the event features a variety of attractions.

The Reuse Market will feature numbered ticket distribution and designated-time entry, followed by open admission. In addition, the "Ecoruga Mini Tasting Session" themed around food waste reduction offers tastings of eco-cooking dishes. Bringing your own chopsticks comes with a free eco gift. Furthermore, hands-on workshops will be held, such as a "My Chopsticks Making Workshop" using thinned cypress wood and a "Panasonic Energy-Saving Electrical Craft Workshop" where participants learn the importance of electricity and energy through making LED lanterns. These workshops require advance registration and are free of charge. A free down product collection corner will also be set up, and collected down items will be recycled.
