Mor Lam, Thai Classical Dance & More — Ueno Thai Summer Fest 2026 Stage Lineup 🎤
The stage lineup changes daily — every visit brings a fresh experience!
From popular artists from Thailand to traditional dance troupes, the lineup is truly packed 🎶
Mor Lam & Baanrabum Thai Classical Dance — Living Thai Tradition on Stage 💃
Live Mor Lam performances are part of the lineup! Mor Lam is a traditional music style from northeastern Thailand (Isan region), known for its one-of-a-kind rhythms and powerfully expressive vocals.
Hearing it echo through Ueno Park is a rare treat — a way to feel transported to Thailand without ever leaving Tokyo 🎵
Thai classical dance troupe Baanrabum Thai Classical Dance will also be taking the stage.
The breathtaking costumes and incredibly refined movements are guaranteed to leave you speechless 👀
Pad Krapao, Singha Beer & Workshops — Ueno Thai Summer Fest 2026 Food & Experiences 🍜
Pad Krapao, Pad Thai & Singha Beer — Authentic Thai Food Comes to Ueno 🍺
The food zone brings together authentic Thai cuisine and popular Japanese eats all in one place!
From Pad Krapao rice (Thai holy basil stir-fry) and Pad Thai (Thai stir-fried noodles) to Thai sweets and drinks — there’s something for everyone 😋
Cracking open a cold Singha Beer while the live music plays? That’s the peak summer experience right there!
Marigold Garland, Sak Yant & Thai Keychain — Hands-On Cultural Workshops 🌸
Don’t miss the hands-on workshops!
Marigold garland making, Sak Yant experience (Thailand’s traditional sacred tattoo art), and Thai language keychain crafting — a variety of ways to experience Thai culture firsthand 🌺
Being able to create something and take it home is what makes this festival extra special ✨
Check with the venue on the day for details!
I wanna try both the marigold garland AND the Sak Yant experience! Free entry, 5 minutes from Ueno Station — there’s literally no reason not to go 🌸
