Daikin Festival Set for May 1, 2026

Learn the art of Shodo–Japanese calligraphy–at Daikin Festival 2026

Japanese culture meets Southern hospitality when the Daikin Festival returns–May 1, 2026 at Point Mallard Park.

This year’s festival will feature many of the things you’ve come to love about this FREE family event–plus some new surprises we will be announcing as the date nears.

The gates open at 6:30 and the festival runs until 9pm.

Daikin’s own Taiko Force drummers will get the party started and play periodically throughout the festival evening.

Expect some of your favorite American and Japanese food (details to follow soon), plus music, kids activities, and a hands-on learning experience in which you can learn the art of Japanese calligraphy known as Shodo.

The entire festival, including food and drink, is FREE compliments of Daikin. So, mark your calendar today and join us on Friday evening, May 1, 2026.
