Yoyogi Park Events Square

Succulent crab legs, salmon roe rice bowls and uni (sea urchin) croquettes are just some of the mouthwatering bites you’ll find at the Sakana & Japan Festival. Happening from February 21 to 24, this four-day event at Yoyogi Park Events Square is one of Tokyo’s largest seafood festivals, where you can feast on fish, crustaceans and the like to your heart’s content. There’s going to be around 80 stalls offering hot dishes like oyster ajillo, clam and shirasu (whitebait) yakisoba and niboshi (seafood broth) ramen to keep you going on a cold winter day. You’ll also find interesting dishes such as grilled steak topped with uni and black truffle beef sandwich and catfish burger, which will definitely appease serious foodies. Whatever your choice, you can always wash it all down with sake or beer. Entry to the festival is free. You can pay for meals with cash or e-payment options including credit card, Suica, Pasmo and PayPay.

Now into its 28th year, Asia's largest St. Patrick's Day parade is always good for a highly festive atmosphere. The main strip of Omotesando is closed to traffic during Sunday afternoon, when a parade of costumed revellers, marching bands and cheerleaders wends its way up the hill and back again – then off to the nearest pub for a few rounds of Guinness. While you're there, make sure to also check out the Green Ireland Festival, which takes over Yoyogi Park Events Square for the weekend with stalls hawking Irish grub, music and dance performances, playful rugby scrums and more.

First held in 2015, this multinational celebration returns for the first time in six years to Keyaki Street near Yoyogi Park Events Square, where you can enjoy food, drinks, music and entertainment, plus all the salsa dancing you can possibly take over a single weekend. Grab a spicy taco and wash it down with beer, caipirinha or tropical cocktail before moving on to the vast selection of rum and tequila. In between meals and dancing, go check out the stalls selling handicrafts and other fun accessories.
