Remember to bring money for food and for any items that you may purchase at the 18th Annual Millbrae Japanese Culture Festival.

Historically, the Annual Millbrae Japanese Culture Festival has been a small-town affair with smaller crowds compared to such events as the Art & Wine festivals. Nonetheless, please expect there to be some lines and crowds. Allocate ample time/resources to participate in activities and to make the best out of the festival experience.

The Millbrae Japanese Culture Festival consists of a small footprint (including a small parking lot along with community spaces in adjacent buildings) as shown on the festival's sitemap. Additionally, there is a stage schedule of events available online. The events on the stage occur simultaneously with various activities at the festival. Feel free to check out the festival's sitemap to see the layout of vendor booths and activity areas, as well as the locations of the restrooms.
