The Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Tokyo International Festival of Culture and Arts Executive Committee will hold a new cultural arts festival, "ARTE TOKYO (Tokyo International Festival of Culture and Arts)," from Saturday, October 10, 2026, to Thursday, December 31, 2026. ARTE TOKYO is a festival that brings together a diverse range of programs in Tokyo, including art, theater, music, illuminations, and entertainment, to depict each individual brilliance as the charm of the entire city. For its inaugural year in 2026, it will focus on the Waterfront Area, Hibiya-Marunouchi Area, and Yoyogi-Shibuya Area as core areas, developing numerous art and entertainment projects, including a revival of the Tokyo 2020 Games cultural program. Today, marking 100 days until the opening, we announce the program lineup that will color this festival. We will introduce a variety of diverse projects, including those by numerous artists and creators, a contemporary circus project that uses the city as its stage, an art project set in Hamarikyu Gardens, one of Tokyo's representative Japanese gardens, and various events in different parts of Tokyo that will jointly liven up the festival, referred to as "Partner Programs." Starting today, information on each program and participating artists will be sequentially released on the official website. Please look forward to future developments.
