The List Hungarian Cultural Center, Cultural Section of the Embassy of Hungary (Azabu-Juban, Tokyo), will hold the 6th Hungarian Festival 2025 on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at the Central Square of Symbol Promenade Park in Odaiba (1-1 Aomi, Koto-ku). The Hungarian Festival, which began in 2020 and was forced to be held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been held three times since 2021 at ARK Karajan Square in ARK Hills (Minato-ku, Tokyo), and last year at a new location, Odaiba Symbol Promenade Park Central Square. Approximately 5,000 people attended last year, enjoying Hungarian culture. This year, the festival will be held again in Odaiba. Every year, we’ve put on a rich stage program, and this year, we’ll be featuring many Hungarian artists, authentic folk dance, and folk music. In addition to folk dance, we’ve prepared a wide-ranging program, including choral and saxophone jazz concerts, the annual concerts by world-renowned pianists and Hungarian singers, and performances by an authentic Hungarian folk orchestra. The usual lineup of merchandise booths and food trucks has been expanded, allowing you to enjoy a day immersed in Hungary at Odaiba, from culture and shopping to gourmet food. For this one-day only, you can travel to Hungary without a passport! Come and join us! ＜Stage Program＞ Following last year, Instant Johnson Sugi will once again be the host, presenting a packed stage program from 11:00 AM to 5:30 PM. We offer a wide range of programs, including concerts by artists popular in their home countries, performances of authentic folk music, and performances of traditional instruments, singing, and dancing, ranging from classical to jazz and pop.
