[Held on Wednesday, May 6] Kids Festa 〜 A family event in Soja where you can enjoy games, gourmet food, and hands-on activities

Soja City is working to create a community where families raising children can live comfortably.
Among people active in the city, efforts to support families with children are gradually spreading.

As one such effort, the event “Kids Festa,” where parents and children can drop in casually, will be held on Wednesday, May 6, 2026.

With a record-high 26 vendors, it’s the perfect event for making one last Golden Week memory.

What is Kids Festa?

Kids Festa is an event where parents and children can eat, play, and have fun, held at Sesshu Birthplace Park on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. This will be its third time being held, with 26 vendors participating.

It’s not just about shopping: visitors can enjoy experiences they can’t usually have, get active, and savor delicious food. The event is designed to leave families with happy memories of the final day of Golden Week.

Please see the images below for details about the vendors.

Interview with organizer kanana

We asked kanana, organizer of Kids Festa, what inspired the event and what to look forward to this time.

Could you tell us how you came up with the idea for Kids Festa?

It started with the thought, “I wish there were more events in Soja City where parents and children could drop by and have fun.”

I hope it will be an event where children and adults alike can smile and make lasting memories through shopping, activities, delicious food, and more.

There are so many wonderful vendors, so I’d also be happy if the event gave people a chance to discover shops and people they haven’t encountered before.

What are the highlights or points of interest this time?

The number of vendors is a highlight.

This time, a record-high 26 vendors will be participating.
There’s a wide variety of fun to enjoy, including workshops, games, food, and relaxation, so I hope you’ll visit several vendors.

One of the highlights of Kids Festa is the stamp rally.

Those who visit the shops at the venue and collect stamps will receive a gift. What’s inside is a surprise until the day of the event. While you’re visiting the shops, be sure to give it a try.

Finally, do you have a message for our readers?

I’d be happy if the time you spend with your children became a slightly special memory. Of course, couples, married couples, and groups of friends are also welcome.

We’re getting ready to make it a fun day for everyone who comes.
Please feel free to drop by.
