Friendship Festival 2023 Published Feb. 27, 2023 We are excited to announce Yokota Air Base is scheduled to open its gates to the community for the 47th Japanese-American Friendship Festival on May 20 and May 21. Yokota's friendship festivals celebrate the enduring partnership between the United States and Japan and serves as an opportunity to strengthen ties between the base and local communities. This year, aircraft static-displays, live music, food vendors and a variety of performances are planned for the festival as a way to showcase Yokota's mission and strengthen the invaluable bond with our host nation. We look forward to celebrating the long-standing and close bond between our base populace and the local community. See you at Friendship Festival 2023!
