National Urban Agriculture Festival 2027 Pre-Event

About this event

The 'National Urban Agriculture Festival 2027 Pre-Event' will be held on Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22, 2026, at the Keyaki Square in Tokyo Metropolitan Hikarigaoka Park, Nerima Ward, Tokyo. This event aims to widely promote the appeal and potential of urban agriculture and foster its development. On the days of the event, agricultural produce and regional specialties from 15 municipalities across Japan, including Nerima Daikon radish, will be on sale. Rare vegetables and unique local specialties that are usually hard to find will gather in one place, allowing visitors to experience diverse food cultures. Urban agriculture refers to farming practiced within or near cities, in a form where farmland coexists in close proximity to residential and commercial facilities. In Nerima Ward, this kind of urban agriculture remains vibrant today, with an environment where fresh vegetables can be easily purchased through local farm stands and vending machines. Held jointly with the JA Tokyo Aoba Agricultural Festival, this event also provides an opportunity to feel regional agriculture close at hand. One of its attractions is being able to compare agricultural produce from all over the country at once and discover how each city interacts with agriculture differently. Admission is free, and the event runs from 10:00 to 16:00 on both days.
