Main Matsuri is an organizer of Japanese events and festivals. Since 2018, we have been bringing Japanese culture to the Rhine-Main region and celebrating a special kind of summer festival with you.
Our vision is to bring the cultural diversity of Japan with music, new and old Japanese cuisine and lifestyle to a wide audience with a lot of enthusiasm. Once a year, artists from all over Japan and Germany come together at the Main Matsuri to celebrate Japan's traditional and pop culture with a fantastic stage program. There are also numerous stalls offering Japanese delicacies, merchandise and much more. If you want to delve even deeper into the many facets of Japanese culture, you'll find what you're looking for in the wide range of workshops on offer.
We love Japanese culture and want to offer you a phenomenal festival and other Japan-related events with the Main Matsuri.
