【Nepal Festival Fukuoka】
With spring in the air and more beautiful days to enjoy being outside, it's the perfect time to get out and explore!
This weekend on Saturday and Sunday, the Nepal Festival Fukuoka will be held at Tenjin Central Park—a cultural exchange event that showcases the traditional arts, music, and food culture of Nepal. Visitors can enjoy delicious Nepalese cuisine and stage performances by popular artists.
Currently, over 10,000 Nepalese people live in Fukuoka City, many of them international students. Fukuoka is one of the cities in Japan with the largest Nepalese population. And this year, April 14 marks the New Year in the Bikram Sambat calendar used in Nepal.
The Nepal Festival Fukuoka has been held annually since 2010 to celebrate this New Year, making this the 12th edition of the event. Organized mainly by Nepalese students and residents living in Fukuoka, the festival offers a full program of activities that let visitors experience Nepalese culture with all five senses. You’ll find authentic food, traditional goods, folk dance and music, a musical instrument parade, opportunities to try on traditional Nepalese sarees, art exhibits, and travel information about Nepal.
The event takes place from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on April 12 and 13 (Saturday and Sunday). Admission is free, and the venue is Tenjin Central Park.
Come join this popular event and celebrate the Nepalese New Year right here in Fukuoka!
