Osaka events calendar

221 dated events are on in October 2026. Mild, with highs around 24°C. Sumiyoshi Taisha's Masu no Ichi falls on 17 October, and the danjiri carts of Kishiwada run in October as well as September.

156 listed events overlap this weekend (23 Oct to 25 Oct). The this-weekend page and the filter above narrow the list to just those, and the map can show them with your dates.

Shrine and temple precincts are open to walk into, and many rites and monthly fairs cost nothing. Some events charge, such as the Kasuga Taisha night visits in Nara, and the official page of each listing says what it costs. 120 of the 800 events listed here are free.

Each dated entry is checked against the organiser's or venue's own page, and a card disappears the day after its event ends. Annual events whose next dates aren't announced yet are marked "dates to be confirmed" and sit at their usual time of year until the organiser publishes them.

Yes. Add to calendar on any event puts it into Google Calendar or Outlook, or opens it in Apple Calendar. Subscribe to calendar at the top adds the whole list as a subscription that updates itself as events are added.

It depends on the event, so check the organiser's page on the day. Outdoor displays can be postponed or cancelled in bad weather, and the museums, arcades and covered streets on the map stay open.
