Ueno Park Fountain Square 10:00
Free entry on weekdays until 1pm, ¥800 for weekend and afternoon entry (comes with a reusable cup)
For four days in July, Ueno Park's fountain square turns into a Taiwanese street food market. Marking the event's 12th return, there'll be plenty of crowd-pleasing dishes themed around Taiwanese wedding banquet meals from around 11 booths, including Taiwanese braised pork, sticky rice, dumplings, spring rolls, geng tang banquet soup, steamed buns, shaved ice desserts, and tapioca bubble tea.
This festival will also feature a beer garden where you can enjoy Taiwanese beer and a tropical fruit fair with an ample supply of lychee and mango.
As well as keeping you well-fed, the festival will entertain you with folk dances that bring happiness and wealth, along with other cultural performances (including those with fire), plus a range of shops selling Taiwanese fashion, handicrafts, traditional sweets, and tea.
