Ready for a weekend packed with food, fire trucks, and enough kids’ energy to power all the streetlights in Chatan? The 2025 Chatan Industry Festival is rolling into town, and it’s basically the Super Bowl of “try everything” events. Perfect for families, couples, solo explorers, and anyone who enjoys watching their in-laws pretend they’re not tired after 20 minutes.
Where and When
📅 December 6–7, 2025
⏰ 10:00–17:00
📍 Plaza in front of Chatan Park Baseball Stadium (Mihama 2, Chatan) | Google Pin
What’s Happening 🎉
This two-day event turns the stadium front plaza into a massive buffet of fun. Businesses from across Chatan are showing off everything from handcrafted goods to clever services you didn’t know existed but suddenly must try. Sixteen food trucks are pulling up too, so good luck choosing between all the snacks. 🍔🍟
Oh, and the Chatan Food and Beverage Association is selling draft beer and highballs, because someone out there is going to need courage after losing the rock-paper-scissors tournament to a 7-year-old. 🍺
You can also check out special products from Fukushima’s Kagawaishi Town—rice, apples, jams—basically the wholesome stuff your in-laws tell you to eat more of. 🍎
Fun for Kids (and Adults Who Are Basically Big Kids) 🚒
The famous “working vehicles” ride corner is back!
On Saturday afternoon you can hop into a police car, and on Sunday afternoon it’s a fire truck. This is your chance to finally fulfill that childhood dream without actually needing to break any laws or set anything on fire.
“Chiitan Land” brings hands-on fun like the Sky Master experience and a mini excavator—because nothing says family bonding like watching your kid operate heavy machinery with zero fear.
And yes, Chiitan, Chatan’s mascot, will be there—prepare your kids for maximum excitement and prepare yourself for maximum sugar intake management.
