Laos Festival 2026

Free

The Laos Festival is filled with Laotian dancing, music, workshops, and — arguably best of all — food.

What happens?

2025 marks the 70th anniversary of Japan-Laos diplomatic relations.

Past editions of this event have seen an estimated 180,000 people turn out to experience Laotian culture. Performances include dance troupes, traditional musicians, Lao and Japanese singers as well as workshops for language, dance, and cooking. Children will be kept entertained in the Kids Corner with plenty of fun activities.
