Halloween in Japantown 2026

Saturday, October 31st

Halloween in Japantown has taken place every year on Halloween (October 31) since 2003, including virtual Halloween at the height of COVID. It will continue to be held on this date unless otherwise announced by San Jose Taiko.

We are thrilled to partner with our friends at JAMsj (Japanese American Museum of San Jose) to make space for Skate Day activations that feature the legendary American skateboarder Judi Oyama. Check out our Halloween in Japantown page for updates on this exciting collaboration.

• Treats from Japantown businesses, organizations, and partners! Safety note: ALL candy distributors must be approved before this event. Anyone handing out candy that was not pre-approved will be asked to desist for the safety of the attendees. If you are interested in distributing candy, please contact us via email (info@taiko.org).

• More updates to come!
