Head to the Jamaica Festival for music, markets, and munchies.
This is taking the same time and area as the African Heritage Festival.
What to expect
The Jamaica Festival at Yoyogi Park’s Zelkova Trees gives a taste of the Caribbean. The main event will be the lineup of performers on stage, with live folk and reggae music to rock out to. Grab your spot and cheer with the crowd to the sounds of tropical tunes.
Suggested Activity
Shinjuku Nightlife Walking Tour & Golden-Gai Bar Crawl
Sample local cuisine at the best hole-in-the-wall eateries, experience quirky bars in the Golden Gai area and take a stroll (that's all) through the infamous red-light district
At the surrounding stalls, you’ll have plenty of options, between blistering jerk chicken and local snacks and brews. Save some yen for the markets too — peruse handmade arts and crafts that’ll make any home pop.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
