Geelong Japanese Festival 2026

The Geelong Japanese Festival 2026 is a vibrant celebration where Japan’s rich traditions and modern pop culture come together in the heart of our community.

​Proudly supported by the Consulate-General of Japan in Melbourne, this event offers a unique opportunity to experience authentic Japanese spirit—from the thunderous beat of Taiko drums and delicate Bonsai workshops to the creative energy of cosplay and local artisan stalls.

​Whether you're here for the food, the art, or the cultural discovery, it’s all about celebrating people-to-people connections. We can’t wait to see you on April 18th at the Geelong Showground for a day of warmth, friendship, and discovery!

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
