2026 Japanese-American Friendship Festival: Day Two

Attendees pose for a photo at the 2026 Japan-American Friendship Festival on Yokota Air Base, Japan, May 17, 2026. Friendship Festival 2026 celebrates not only the U.S.-Japan alliance, but also 250 years of the United States. From vendors to performances, to static displays and even aerial demonstrations, FF26 served as a bridge between the U.S. 250th milestone and the local Japanese community, showcasing how the U.S. military’s modern mission remains a continuation of the revolutionary spirit that defined America’s founding.
