It looks like “Laporte Ennichi 2024” will be held at Laporte, the shopping mall directly connected to JR Ashiya Station, on Sunday, August 25, from 11:00 to 18:00!

Quoted from the official Laporte website
This year’s main game is the “Water Adventure” corner (300 yen), where you can win “salt-grilled ayu” if your water gun hits the monster. After the opening ceremony at 11:00, visitors will apparently be able to take on the challenge together with Ashiya Mayor Ryosuke Takashima!
↑ Last year, the mayor threw the ceremonial first pitch for the “Struck Out” game, and afterward he enjoyed playing games with the kids too.
↑ Here’s what the food stalls looked like at last year’s “Laporte Ennichi.” This year, there will apparently be lots of food stalls with items like karaage fried chicken, shaved ice, yakisoba, takoyaki, and baby castella, as well as game stalls such as jumbo ring toss, smart bingo, shooting gallery, and yo-yo fishing!
↑ The hugely popular cinnamon rolls from Cinnabon, which went on sale at 11:00 last year and were sold out by 12:00, will apparently be back again this year! You’ll want to get there early!
↑ Last year it was incredibly lively and crowded like this, so it looks like this year will be quite busy too.
