Get ready to immerse yourself in a full-on celebration of Japanese food, culture, and creativity at the annual Taste of Japan Festival, taking over STC GardenWalk in Anaheim! This family-friendly festival is bursting with energy and flavor, featuring over 100 Japanese vendors serving up everything from savory street food and rare snacks to handmade crafts and unique anime merch.
Kicking off the weekend is Tokyo City Lights, a high-energy Friday night concert at House of Blues Anaheim featuring TeddyLoid, Vantage, MILK TALK, and none other than DJ Hello Kitty! Yes—that Hello Kitty.
As you explore the grounds, don’t miss Takumi Alley, a beautifully curated artisan market where traditional craftsmanship meets contemporary flair.
