NOTE

[Scale in 2026]
- 141 pottery stalls (84 from Kyoto, 57 from elsewhere, across 19 prefectures)
- Plus 9 food stalls, 150 in all — about double last year
- The site now extends to the south pavement of Gojo-dori
- The Wakamiya Hachimangu grounds serve as the food area


[Shrine rites alongside]
- The shrine's own grand festival — eve rite, main rite and children's mikoshi — runs alongside the pottery fair
- There is again no pottery mikoshi procession in 2026

[About the name]
- This is the century-old Gojozaka Pottery Festival, revived under a new name in 2023 — not a separate event running alongside it

*Goes ahead in rain; may be cancelled in severe weather.
*Taiko, pottery painting and the stamp rally are from the 2025 programme; 2026 details are still being posted.
