The Black Ships Festival in Bristol

Experience a glimmer of classical Japanese culture at the heart of the Black Ships Festival - a day-long event open to the public and open to all ages next to the water at Independence Park in Bristol.

​

Highlights from last year's festival include:

• a martial arts display;

• an abbreviated Japanese tea ceremony;

• a taiko drumming performance;

• vendors from around New England.

​

​The Black Ships Festival loves to welcome new vendors to the festival in the peak of Bristol's tourist season.

​

$150 per vendor​
