2023 Annual 27th Japanese Fall Festival Event - Mizumoto Japanese Stroll Garden (Japanese Culture, Food, Performances..)NEW

The Japanese Fall Festival is a celebration of authentic Japanese culture highlighting Springfield’s 37-year-old sister city relationship with Isesaki, Japan. In typical years, Springfield and Isesaki exchange performers to entertain and share culture at each other’s festivals. 

Springfield Sister Cities Association donates half of the Japanese Fall Festival’s admission proceeds to the maintenance and development of the Mizumoto Japanese Stroll Garden, sponsored by Simmons Bank. The remaining proceeds benefit cultural programs which further Springfield Sister Cities Association’s mission of “Peace through People.”
