On Saturday, November 8, 2025, the Oiso Festival 2025 will be held at the Oiso Long Beach No.1 Parking Lot.

With the theme “The Eras of Oiso – From Ancient Times to the Future,” this fall festival brings together food, music, culture, and art, creating a spectacular evening where the Shonan seaside glows with countless lights.

🌿 Theme: “Time Trip” — An Interactive Journey Through Oiso’s History

This year’s theme, “Time Trip,” takes visitors on a journey through time — from ancient mythology, to the Edo-period post town, to the Meiji-era resort days, and into the future.
The festival offers a full experience of Oiso’s rich history and culture through food, art, and music.

At the venue, local shops and community groups will host booths selling regional specialties and Shonan delicacies. On the main stage, visitors can enjoy traditional Japanese music, dance performances, and live acts by local artists, creating a vibrant atmosphere throughout the day.

🏮 Highlight of the Night: The Magical Sky Lantern Release

As the sun sets, the venue will be wrapped in a warm, glowing light. The grand finale features hundreds of sky lanterns released into the night sky, each carrying the wishes of the participants.
Combined with the ocean backdrop, the moment feels like a scene from a movie, painting the Shonan night with gentle light and emotion.

Sky lantern participation is limited and requires advance ticket purchase, so early reservations are highly recommended.
