Under the theme "FUTURE VINTAGE — Carrying the Memories of the Past into the Future, New Creation," diverse programs unfold primarily across nine iconic areas of Tokyo.

TOKYO, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Tokyo Creative Salon Executive Committee will host TOKYO CREATIVE SALON 2026 (TCS 2026) over 10 days from Friday, March 13 to Sunday, March 22, 2026, primarily across Akasaka, Ginza, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Nihonbashi, Haneda, Harajuku, Marunouchi, and Roppongi. Admission is free.

At the heart of TCS 2026 is the City Wide Program, where the experience itself—encountering creativity while exploring Tokyo—becomes the content. Grounded in the festival theme, each area draws on its own history, culture, and character to present creative content across fashion, design, art, and craft.
