What is Taiyo Day?

Taiyo Day combines fun, fandom, laughter, and lesson in one event. This pop culture fair is where fans learn and learners have fun.

Taiyo Day is for artists, crafters, students, young professionals, workers, anime and manga fans, cosplayers, gamers, photographers, toy lovers, card players, and families.

There are over 30 major art markets and fandom events for 2026—all in Metro Manila alone. The out-of-town edition of Taiyo Day is a community event with the goal of reaching to and connecting with enthusiasts of anything Japanese outside Metro Manila.
