Vietnam Festa in Kanagawa grew out of the friendship between Kanagawa Prefecture and Vietnam, bringing Vietnamese food, culture and exchange to Yokohama's historic port district each September.

Good to know

Food booths at Zou-no-hana Park stay open later than the street program — go for an evening bite by the water.
