A family day out with food trucks, shopping and room to spread out on the grass: UUUU.FES.2026 takes place in Kishiwada, Osaka, on November 7–8, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day. Admission is free.
The Nakashou Group Thanksgiving Festival (中商グループ感謝祭 UUUU.FES.2026) moves to the Great Lawn at Osaka Prefectural Tonboike Park (大阪府営蜻蛉池公園 大芝生広場) this year. More than 130 stalls are planned across the two days, alongside an expanded children’s area. Pop-up tents and pets are welcome, so you can relax on the grass between shopping and watching performances.
