Hitsuji Festa 2026 in Nakano Antenna Street

About this event

'Hitsuji Festa 2026 in Nakano Antenna Street' is one of Japan's largest outdoor events gathering sheep food and crafts. It will be held at Nakano Central Park on Saturday, November 7 and Sunday, November 8, 2026. Bringing together 'the present state of sheep' in Japan and worldwide, this event is packed with activities for parents and children to eat, create, and enjoy, featuring the sale of lamb and mutton dishes, wool and craft booths, workshops and hands-on activities, and character appearances. Organizations involved with sheep both domestically and internationally, popular sheep dish restaurants, and groups hosting sheep events nationwide will gather in one place, aiming to be an event where 'visiting the venue lets you understand the present of sheep in Japan.' In addition to introducing sheep meat cuisine from around the world and sheep-producing regions across Japan, the venue will host wool and craft product sales, introductions of regional and organizational initiatives, and interactive experiences. Beyond just eating, visitors can experience domestic and international sheep culture through viewing and hands-on activities. Admission is free, though food, drinks, and some activities may require separate fees. The event will proceed rain or shine, but will be canceled in severe stormy weather.
