The craft beer maker Minoh Brewery, based in Minoh City, Osaka, has announced its annual event, “Minoh Beer Thanksgiving Festival 2026.” The event will be held on Sunday, September 20, 2026, and Monday, September 21 (national holiday), at “Ue-no-Hiroba” in Expo '70 Commemorative Park in Suita, Osaka Prefecture. Moving from Senba Handai Plaza, where it had been held for the past three years, the plan is to welcome visitors on a larger grassy area.

This year’s Thanksgiving Festival marks a 29th anniversary milestone. The announcement conveyed gratitude for the ongoing support, and noted that the event timing has been changed from the October schedule used until now, along with a new venue. More detailed event times and additional information are expected to be announced later.

Expo '70 Commemorative Park is one of Osaka's most iconic expansive parks, known for the Tower of the Sun. By holding its anniversary event in the adjacent area, the brewery based in Minoh City appears set to create a day that combines craft beer and an outdoor setting. Minoh Beer is also known as a brewery rooted in local Osaka while steadily building a strong reputation in Japan and abroad, and this year's Thanksgiving Festival is likely to be an opportunity for fans to experience the brand's journey firsthand.

At present, food and beer offerings, stage programs, and other details have not been announced. For now, it's best to note the dates and venue and wait for further updates.
