Yokohama Mores Rooftop BBQ Beer Garden to Host New Experience Event 'Yokohama Mores Bon Odori: Bon DANCE 2026' on August 21 (Fri)

Yokohama Okadaya Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture; President: Nobuhiro Okada) operates Yokohama Mores (located at Yokohama Station West Exit), a shopping center currently hosting the urban-style beer garden 'Mores BBQ Beer Garden,' which offers a relaxing city resort experience centered around 'BEACH & CITY POP.'

On August 21, 2026 (Friday), the rooftop terrace will transform into a vibrant festival space with the special summer event 'Yokohama Mores Bon Odori: Bon DANCE 2026,' featuring a traditional yagura tower for Bon Odori dancing.

Headlining the event is DJ Celly, the charismatic pioneer of 'Bon Odori × DJ' fusion, whose viral video of Bon Jovi’s 'Livin’ On A Prayer' played during a Bon dance—dubbed #BonJovi—sparked widespread social media attention.

The event will also feature performances by J-POP DJ YAHAGI, the taiko idol group Tokyo Otome Taiko, and the Japan Bon Odori Association.

Guests can enjoy a completely new kind of urban festival—sipping beer while stylishly dancing in the heart of the city.
