Citta’ Summer Festival 2024

Feel the vibrant ambiance of summer with a bustling night market, kimono-clad patrons, and live performances.

What happens?

You’ll find all the traditional elements of a Japanese matsuri (festival) — taiko drumming, lion dances, culinary delights, and fun games — but with modern elements like a stylish outdoor bar and spectacular live shows.

Expect around 70 food stalls filled with approx. 100 types of mouth-watering international and local cuisine, limited-time menus at nearby restaurants, and captivating live shows that mix modern and traditional Japanese elements — find special effects, enchanting lighting, fire displays, and listen to a mix of music genres.

If you haven’t come in yukata (summer kimono), don’t worry — the festival offers plans that include a yukata, dressing, hairstyling, and a photo shoot (reservation required, 30-min. for dressing). In the Central Fountain Plaza, an outdoor bar will be set up in a cool space-themed spot for a special night out.

Note: Last order at the market will be 30 minutes before closing time.

How to get there

The festival takes place in the facility La Cittadella, which is around a 7-minute walk from Kawasaki Station. The festival can be accessed by train within 30 minutes from all major stations in Tokyo.
