The 41st Asakusa Samba Carnival is scheduled for August 29

The parade contest is planned along Umamichi-dori and Kaminarimon-dori in Asakusa.

Taito City has listed Saturday, August 29, 2026, as the date for the 41st Asakusa Samba Carnival Parade Contest.

The announced location is the Asakusa route from Umamichi-dori to Kaminarimon-dori. Because the event uses central streets near major sightseeing spots, visitors should expect changes to normal movement around the area on the day.
