About
On a summer evening in Okawa, residents gather in one place for this combined festival. The seventeenth edition took place on Saturday, August 1, 2026, from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm on the sports ground of the International University of Health and Welfare's Okawa campus. Expect rows of food stalls, a Bon dance circle, a children's corner, stage acts and a prize draw, with fireworks also planned. It brings together three events that used to run separately: the central shopping street's night market, the Kohokai group's summer festival and the Okawa Tourism Association's Bon dance. Rain cancels it. There is no parking at the venue, so use City Hall or other car parks nearby.
