Why You Should Visit

A festival of light at Porto Europa, the Mediterranean-style park in Wakayama Marina City. For its 10th year in 2026, under the theme "LOVE – ten years of thank-yous to you", it adds a red carpet leading into the venue, new AR and laser effects and illuminations looking back over the decade. There are ten drone shows, three of them held together with the Lantern Festival, plus the largest-ever Christmas market with 18 stalls and stage events.
