23rd Tsuchiura Curry Festival

About this event

Held in Tsuchiura City, renowned as the "Curry Town of Tsuchiura," the "23rd Tsuchiura Curry Festival" will take place over two days on Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22, 2026, at J:COM Field Tsuchiura (Kawaguchi Sports Park Athletic Stadium). The hours for both days are from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. At this event, a variety of curries featuring local ingredients such as lotus root will be served, allowing visitors to taste and compare flavors unique to Tsuchiura. Curry shops gather from across the country, showcasing an event where visitors can savor around 40 different types of curry. At the 22nd edition last year, the "C-1 Grand Prix" and the "Lotus Root Grand Prix" were held to determine Japan's top curry by visitor votes, and food trucks set up in the sub-ground area. The event is organized by the Tsuchiura City Food Town Promotion Council and co-organized by the Tsuchiura Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Tsuchiura Tourism Association. Details regarding vendor lists, parking, and admission fees have not yet been announced as of September 29, but admission was free for the 22nd edition last year. On Monday, November 23 (Public Holiday), the day following the event, the 50th Tsuchiura City Industry Festival is scheduled around the same venue, allowing visitors to enjoy food and industry events throughout the three-day weekend.
