Kanazawa Workers Plaza, just a short ten-minute walk from the Kanazawa Station’s west exit.
Scheduled for
May 16th (Saturday) from
11:00 AM to 4:00 PM and
May 17th (Sunday) from
10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, this festival is a dream come true for bird lovers. The festival focuses on the theme of 'relaxing coffee time while watching little birds,' and promises a cozy atmosphere where visitors can mingle with fellow bird lovers while enjoying a cup of coffee.
The event will feature a gathering of popular creators from across the nation, showcasing a vibrant array of bird-themed artworks and merchandise. Whether you are looking for unique art pieces or cute bird accessories, you will find something special here that resonates with your love for birds. Given that this is the only bird festival in the Hokuriku region, it's an occasion not to be missed, especially for those residing in or visiting Kanazawa.
The Bird Festival will take place in the same venue as last year, which is the
Kanazawa Workers Plaza located at
3-2-20 Kitayasue, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture. For an entry fee of only
500 yen, attendees can enjoy access to all the festival activities, come with their families (children under elementary school age are free), and receive a complimentary clear file as a special treat!
Additionally, the festival will feature
guest appearances from renowned creators such as
Erupopi and
