Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Japfest, Ireland’s largest celebration of Japanese and JDM car culture.
Japfest returns to Mondello Park in 2026, bringing together the cars, drivers, and community that define the Japanese automotive scene in Ireland. From high-intensity on-track action to a packed paddock of standout builds, Japfest delivers a full-scale celebration of performance, style, and motorsport culture.
On track, the Irish Drift Series returns with a stacked grid of top-level drivers going head-to-head in fast, aggressive battles that set the tone for the season. Off track, hundreds of Japan’s finest-inspired builds will be on display, from rare classics to modern, heavily modified machines that showcase the depth of the scene.
Whether you live for door-to-door drifting, appreciate clean JDM builds, or just want to experience the atmosphere of a proper car event, Japfest 2026 is a must-attend.
