LuckyFes’24 has started recruiting food vendors for the Lucky Dining area on March 5th.  The festival plans to recruit more than 40 establishments to operate in the BBQ area adjacent to the prairie, the largest number ever. 

LuckyFM Ibaraki Broadcasting Corporation (Headquarters: Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture) will be hosting LuckyFes’24 at the Hitachi Seaside Park over the three-day weekend from Saturday, July 13 to Monday, July 15, 2024. 

LuckyFes’24 aims to be the largest theme-park festival in Asia, targeting participation from 120,000 of our friends. This time, Lucky Dining is planning to host over 40 food vendors, including famous local Ibaraki and national food festival vendors, and new vendors offering Asian gourmet options for our friends from all over Asia.

■ Adding Gourmet Asian Delicacies to the Crossover of Diverse Cuisines

Lucky Dining aims to deliver a crossover of diverse cuisines. This year, in addition to a lineup of meat, rice bowls, noodles, skewers, sweets, and other popular Japanese festival food made with local ingredients from Ibaraki, festival-goers can enjoy gourmet Korean, Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese dishes. By bringing these dishes together, we aim to offer a variety of options for everyone to enjoy.

■ Towards a New Festival Food Area Considering Environmental and Heat Stroke Measures

As a part of an eco-friendly festival, Lucky DIning is adopting the use of environmentally friendly containers. As LuckyFes expands, additional eateries will operate alongside Lucky Dining. 

To help combat heat stroke, we plan to increase the number of official drink bars, as well as operate additional drink bars outside of the Lucky Dining area. By taking a systematic approach to reducing wait times, we aim to create an environment where our guests can stay hydrated at all times. 

If you’re a restaurant owner who strongly believes that your menu will be a hit at LuckyFes, please apply as soon as possible! Help us to build the most delicious LuckyFes menu possible!
