Hiroshima Bread Festival 2026

About this event

The "Hiroshima Bread Festival 2026" will be held over 2 days on Saturday, October 31 and Sunday, November 1, 2026, at Hiroshima Gate Park in Naka Ward, Hiroshima City. This event is one of the largest bread festivals in Hiroshima Prefecture, bringing together popular bakeries and sweet shops primarily from across the prefecture. Under the theme of "A happy life with bread close at hand," it offers a precious opportunity to enjoy products all at once from distant shops that are usually hard to visit or famous stores you have never been to before. The venue features bakeries serving various types of bread—such as sliced white bread, croissants, artisan crusty bread, savory prepared bread, sweet pastries, and bagels—as well as shops selling sweets like caneles, scones, chiffon cakes, and baked goods. In addition, cafes and beverage stands serving hand-drip coffee, lattes, smoothies, banana juice, and more will participate, allowing visitors to discover their preferred style of enjoyment, such as pairing bread with coffee or sampling sweets on the go. The official mascot character "Shokupan-san" will also make an appearance to liven up the venue. Because it spans two days, checking out your favorite shops in advance will ensure a smoother, more enjoyable event experience. From looking for freshly baked bread to tasting and comparing different bakeries and enjoying pairings with coffee or sweets, it is an event packed with diverse charms centered on bread.
