What this is
A Santa Monica-themed outdoor food festival held at Yokohama's iconic Red Brick Warehouse waterfront plaza, serving up American West Coast classics like burgers and ice cream against a seaside backdrop. The pairing of Yokohama's historic harbour atmosphere with California beach-town vibes makes for an unexpectedly fitting combination — both cities share a long history as international port destinations.
Who should go
Casual visitors to Yokohama looking for a relaxed waterfront afternoon, families, and anyone who enjoys open-air food events with a laid-back summer atmosphere.
Good to know
Entry to the plaza is typically free, with costs coming from individual food and drink stalls — bring cash as smaller festival vendors in Japan often do not accept cards. The Red Brick Warehouse Event Plaza is a large open-air space on the Yokohama waterfront, well-suited to summer festivals with plenty of room to spread out. Arriving around late afternoon is advisable to secure a good spot before the sunset crowd builds. The surrounding Minato Mirai area has plenty of additional dining and shopping options if queues at stalls are long.
