The BOATRACE Promotion Association (Minato-ku, Tokyo) will sponsor the 35th YOSAKOI Soran Festival, held from June 10 (Wed) to 14 (Sun), 2026. During the event, a special booth will be set up at the Odori Park West 6 outdoor stage, featuring various stage events. The YOSAKOI Soran Festival, centered at Odori Park in Sapporo, is a major early summer event in Hokkaido. In this second consecutive year of sponsorship, the association will collaborate with 'Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo,' for which it serves as an official partner, to further energize the festival. On June 13 (Sat), a talk show will be held with DF Toya Nakamura, a Hokkaido Mukawa-born player raised in the academy. On June 14 (Sun), the official dance drill team 'Consadolls' will perform a YOSAKOI Soran dance. Additionally, the event will feature photo spots, challenge games testing 'reflexes' required for boat racers, rock-paper-scissors tournaments, and bingo games. Six YOSAKOI Soran teams will also perform on June 13 and 14. Currently, there are 8 active boat racers from Hokkaido, 4 of whom are young racers under 30. The association is strengthening its efforts to promote the appeal of boat racing and recruit new racers through such sponsorships.
