Outdoor booth Registration Guide

The food stall area will be set up next to the indoor venue building and near the outdoor entertainment plaza. In the adjacent plaza, visitors can enjoy performances and outdoor activities.

In the previous event Japan Fiesta, access to the outdoor area was free, with the expectation of attracting more users. However, in reality, the majority of people enjoyed the paid indoor venue, which offered a diverse range of cultural content. Furthermore, since this time it will be held on a Saturday, there will be no overlap with the customers of the Riccarton Sunday Market, and only those who intend to enjoy Japan Fest will visit. Additionally to avoid confusion and consider issues such as access to indoor restrooms, starting from this time, entry to the outdoor entertainment venue and food stall area, excluding certain sections, will be subject to a fee.

Allocation of outdoor vending spaces

Visitors to Japan Fiesta's food stall area expect to find Japanese cuisine. However, in order to adequately satisfy the appetites and preferences of many attendees, the vendors are not limited to Japanese food. Therefore, the allocation of food stalls follows the order of

① sponsors,

② local Japanese community,

③ Japanese food, and

④ international food,

starting from the vicinity of the main venue building and the lower rows (areas with less wind impact).

Furthermore, the outdoor vending area is divided into a "Tent Food Stall Area" and a "Food Van (Trailer) Food Stall Area." The Tent Food Stall Area has access to electricity, while the Food Van Food Stall Area does not. Therefore, if necessary, please bring your own power generator for the Food Van Area.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

For non-sponsor general vendors, once you have completed the registration preparations, please first purchase a site space through the online shopping system provided below. (GST will be added to the displayed fee.) For information on special vendor discounts, please refer to the "Special Vendor Discount Guide" below.

After making the payment, please keep a record of the 4-digit ORDER number provided in the confirmation email (automated reply) you will receive.

Next, select "Outdoor Food/Goods Stalls" in the registration form below and fill in the required information before submitting.

Once all the vendor spaces are filled, we will close the application. After that, those who still wish to have a vendor booth can register for the waiting list.

We are grateful to the Japanese Society of Canterbury (JSC) for their kind assistance in providing tents for the tent food stalls. Tents will be lent free of charge in the following order: ① to ④. Once all the owned tents have been allocated, we will no longer be able to provide them. Therefore, any subsequent vendors will need to arrange their own tents. Please note that tents are essential for outdoor food stalls that provide food.

Please note the following points for outdoor tent food stall vendors:

If any damage is caused to the JSC tent due to misuse or accidents during use, please promptly inform the event organizers.
In case compensation or repairs are required for damage to the JSC tent, it will be discussed among the vendor, event organizers, and JSC separately from the terms and conditions stated.

Bringing your own tent to the lower area is not allowed. If your own tent fits within the designated booth size, you can set it up in the upper area. If you wish to do so, please inform us through the message field in the form.

Indoor booth Registration Guide

We provide indoor spaces where general goods and food (non-cooked food) can be sold, sampled, exhibited, and demonstrated.

Allocation of indoor vending spaces

Due to the intricate structure of the indoor booth area, we will allocate the booth spaces based on our judgment. We will consider the following priority criteria when making allocation decisions:

① Purchasers of larger booth areas (2 booths).

② Sponsors and special cultural exhibitors.

③ Early registrants.

Please understand that the booth layout is significantly restricted, and we appreciate your understanding.

After making the payment, please keep a record of the 4-digit ORDER number provided in the confirmation email (automated reply) you will receive.

Next, select "Indoor General Booth" in the registration form below and fill in the required information before submitting it.
