61st Konan Wisteria Festival
Date: Apr 17,2026(Fri) ～ May 3(Sun)
Wondrous wisterias of all sorts of colors and shapes
The Konan Wisteria Festival takes place every year from mid-April to early May in Mandaraji Park, next door to Mandaraji Temple—an ancient and venerated temple of the Owari region. Some 60 wisteria plants of 11 varieties ranging from early- to late-bloomers wind and climb up a myriad of trellises where they bloom into stunning purples, reds, and whites. The beauty of their ever long clusters of flowers, showing their transient beauty but once a year, is a poetic and asthetic marvel.
Performances grace the stage while a Wisteria Festival photo contest too is held.
