Kitasuzu Summer Festival Ver.1.5 2026

Why You Should Visit

A neighborhood summer festival at Kitayama Park in Kita-Suzurandai, spilling over into the housing development just to its east. Expect eight-plus stalls of festival games and another eight-plus food stalls and kitchen cars, plus shaved ice and ramune soda. Every visitor gets a glow bracelet, so the grounds light up as the sun goes down. It runs from late afternoon into the evening at a walkable, family-sized scale.
