LuckyFes’26: A Creative Arts Festival

LuckyFes, the highly celebrated themed art festival, returns for its third consecutive year with renowned creative director KAIHO at the helm. From August 8th to 11th, 2026, the National Hitachi Seaside Park in Ibaraki, Japan, will be transformed into a vibrant theme park, showcasing a myriad of performances and unique artistic experiences.

KAIHO has gained recognition for his captivating artistic vision, particularly the innovative use of special effects makeup. His expertise has led to collaborations with numerous popular artists such as King Gnu, Vaundy, Official Hige Dandism, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, and many more.

The festival's overarching theme revolves around celebrating art, allowing attendees to immerse themselves in a whimsical atmosphere reminiscent of a theme park. Visitors can not only enjoy the performances but also interact with KAIHO's creations, making each moment memorable. These original Lucky Monsters will roam the venue, enhancing the enchanting experience for festival-goers of all ages.
