about

The Toyota Japan Festival Wellington is a biennial event celebrating Japanese culture in the Capital of Aotearoa. Whether it’s stunning martial arts displays, vibrant cosplay culture or the graceful tea ceremony, Japan Festival Wellington will have something for everyone.

The festival is organised by the Wellington Japan Festival Trust with support from Embassy of Japan and Wellington City Council.

Together, our mission is to promote Japanese culture and continue to foster our one going relationship with sister city Sakai.

Becoming a Vendor

Thank you for your interest in 2024 event! Vendor registrations are now closed. We will be returning in 2026 and would love to hear from you then.

Sustainability

The environmental impact a festival can have is huge. To protect the future of our tamariki and the environment, the Trust asks you to choose more sustainable options where possible. There will be a waste-management system on the day which you will hear more about closer to the date.
