Yokosuka Night Market to be held for the first time on July 24 (Fri.) at Ichigo Yokosuka Port Market!

Ichigo Yokosuka Port Market (6 Shinko-cho, Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture) will host the "Yokosuka Night Market" for the first time on July 24, 2026 (Fri.), with the aim of promoting the appeal of local products and creating nighttime vibrancy.

Yokosuka Night Market: Enjoy Music, Craft Beer, and Local Gourmet

The Yokosuka Night Market is an initiative that focuses on music, craft beer, and local gourmet, which have deep connections with Yokosuka's culture and food, to create a platform for promoting local products and developing new attractions. As an event that aligns with Yokosuka City's urban development as a "City of Music, Sports, and Entertainment," and also contributes to the creation of new attractions by combining tourism resources with entertainment, it offers both visitors and locals a unique way to enjoy Yokosuka at night.

At Ichigo Yokosuka Port Market, we have been holding the "Yokosuka Morning Market" monthly since May 2025, utilizing local products such as "Yokosuka vegetables" and "seafood," which have high appeal as tourist content, to increase awareness of local products and promote the region's charm. The Yokosuka Morning Market, which started with 35 booths, has expanded to nearly 50 booths, and we are working to create a new community with local residents, tenants, and exhibitors.

This inaugural Yokosuka Night Market expands these efforts into the evening hours, aiming to further promote the appeal of local products and create nighttime vibrancy, thereby fostering a positive cycle for the local economy.

In addition, for this event, RUEED, the initiator and executive committee chairman of Yokosuka Reggae Bash, and LUKE, the vice chairman, will participate in an in-store live performance. This event will liven up Yokosuka as a pre-event for Yokosuka Reggae Bash, and by using music as a catalyst for people to gather, enjoy local food and craft beer, and discover Yokosuka's attractive shops, we aim to encourage circulation within the event and the city, leading to sustained promotion of its appeal.
