Festival dell'Oriente Genova 2026

The East lands in Genoa

The Festival dell'Oriente is one of Italy's most beloved traveling events, and in Genoa, it finds a home at the Waterfront di Levante, the modern exhibition center overlooking the sea. For three days, the public can immerse themselves in a journey through Asian cultures, from the Far East to the Indian subcontinent, in a path that combines entertainment, knowledge, and taste.

Performances, ceremonies, and martial arts

The program is very rich: performances and exhibitions by international artists, traditional ceremonies such as kimono dressing, Japanese drumming, tea ceremony, and mandala construction. Ample space is dedicated to martial arts and wellness disciplines, with demonstrations and practice sessions of yoga, Ayurveda, Reiki, and Tai Chi.

The Japan Expo novelty

Among the notable offerings is Japan Expo, a format entirely dedicated to Japan: history, craftsmanship, folklore, and gastronomy of the Land of the Rising Sun in a thematic area that allows for a deeper understanding of one of the most fascinating cultures of the East.

Flavors and markets of Asia

The dimension of taste is not missing, with Asian street food and authentic traditional cuisine, as well as shopping, with ethnic markets offering crafts, clothing, and objects from all over the East. An experience suitable for all ages, making the Festival dell'Oriente an unmissable event of the Genoese spring.
