The 2022 edition of this event sees dance teams descend on the Harajuku/Omotesando area in late August. The two days of the festival sees a huge dance contest between these teams taking over the area.
2022 Schedule
The dance festival is on a massive scale and sees 6,000 performers in dance groups from throughout Japan competing for the top spot. There will be a parade in front of NHK (along the avenue within Yoyogi Park that links the park to Shibuya) on both days from 10:00-19:00 on Saturday and 10:00-17:00 on Sunday.
The parade down Omotesando avenue will be on Sunday from 11:10-16:15. Viewing from the sidewalk on the dancers side will be prohibited, but as the roads will be free from cars, you may view from the road on the opposite side. Map here.
