JAPAN Fes East Village October 3 2026
JAPAN Fes returns to the East Village Saturday, October 3, 2026, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., on 4th Avenue between 9th and 10th Streets.
This event has ended
JAPAN Fes lists Saturday, October 3, 2026, in the East Village on 4th Avenue between 9th and 10th Streets, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is free. Food is pay-as-you-go.
The roaming mix is the usual board: ramen, takoyaki, karaage, taiyaki, kakigori, onigiri, yakitori, and rotating dessert stalls. The official post names Slurpeak, Tanota, Karaageya, and others. Treat that list as day-of truth. Blocks can still shift.
This is the same Saturday as the Korean Parade on Sixth Avenue and Welcome to Chinatown's Mid-Autumn under the Brooklyn Bridge. The East Village stop is the one you can walk if you are already downtown. It is not next door to Herald Square.
The 6 at Astor Place or the R/W at 8th Street covers the block. The late-August East Village weekend used Broadway one day and 4th Avenue the next. This Saturday is the 4th Avenue setup. Confirm the map on the October 3 post before you go.
Next official New York dates are Astoria on October 10 and Upper West Side on October 11.
When: October 3, 2026 (10 a.m.–6 p.m.)
Where: 4th Avenue between 9th and 10th Streets, East Village
