JAPAN Fes New Jersey at Overpeck County Park
JAPAN Fes New Jersey sets up Saturday, August 1, 2026 at Overpeck County Park Pavilion in Ridgefield Park with Japanese street-food stalls from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Free admission
JAPAN Fes lists its August 1, 2026 New Jersey stop at Overpeck County Park with event hours 11 a.m.–8 p.m. (vendor load-in earlier). The roaming Japanese street-food festival format matches the NYC editions: kakigori, taiyaki, karaage, takoyaki, and rotating stalls rather than a ticketed indoor show.
Expect park parking pressure on a summer Saturday. The weekend before, Astoria hosted the Queens edition. A second New Jersey date is listed October 17 in Jersey City; treat the Overpeck map as day-of truth for August 1.
When: August 1, 2026 (11 a.m.–8 p.m.)
Where: Pavilion, Overpeck County Park, Ridgefield Park, NJ
Confirm stall list and any rain notes on the JAPAN Fes New Jersey 2026 page. Manhattan’s Midtown West edition follows August 2.
