The Blue and Red Autumn Festival will be held at the 2026/27 Meiji Yasuda J1 League Sec. 12 match vs. Mito Hollyhock on Sunday, October 25 (kickoff at 4:00 p.m. / Ajinomoto Stadium).
Starting this year, the AO-AKA Summer Festival, previously held in summer, will be moved to the cooler autumn season so that everyone can enjoy it more comfortably and with greater peace of mind.
Let’s enjoy the AO-AKA festival to the fullest under the autumn sky!
A large festival tower will be set up at the AO-AKA PARK supported by Joypolis Ajipanda Plaza (South Plaza), adding to the festive atmosphere.
In addition, the club's official partner, Regina Clinic Homme, will host the "Super Hair Removal Festival" booth, themed around hair! Unique festival games inspired by hair will be available.
Festival foods, including grilled squid and candied apples, will also be sold, transforming Ajinomoto into a one-day autumn festival venue.
Enjoy a special time at Ajinomoto this autumn with your family and friends.
