Call for Japan Festival 2026 sponsors
Dear JCC member,
Thank you very much for your understanding and support of JCC’s activities.
We are delighted to announce that the Japan Festival Foundation will organize “Japan Festival 2026” as below:
- Date: Sunday, June 28, 2026, from 12:00 to 18:00
- Venue: Handelsplein, Amstelveen (due to renovation of Stadshart Square)
Since its inception in 2016, the Japan Festival has become the largest Japanese cultural event in the Netherlands, attracting approximately 20,000 visitors.
It is widely enjoyed not only by Japanese residents and Dutch citizens but also by people of various nationalities.
The festival offers a wide range of attractions, including Japanese food and product stalls, hands-on workshops, and stage performances, providing entertainment for both adults and children.
For Dutch residents and other international visitors, it is a valuable opportunity to experience Japanese culture firsthand.
For the Japanese community in the Netherlands, we hope it will be a moment to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of Japan and feel at home.
Furthermore, through this festival, we aim to showcase the long-standing exchange between Japan and the Netherlands.
The slogan for Japan Festival 2026 is:“Wa – Harmony in Diversity.”
Our mission is to create a space where people of all nationalities and cultures can come together to experience and enjoy the beauty of Japanese culture. This reflects the spirit of the Japan Festival Foundation.
Through the 2026 festival, we hope to further strengthen the ties between Japan and the Netherlands.
