The Hayama Art Festival is an annual arts festival organized by artists working in Hayama Town, Miura District, Kanagawa, and throughout the Shonan region along Sagami Bay.
It is held each year from mid-April to mid-May, centered around Japan’s Golden Week holidays.
In 2026, the festival will run from April 25 to May 17.
Photographer Bruce Osborn will also participate.
