On Saturday, September 13, 2025, the Dandadan anime is bringing its unique blend of spirits, aliens, and chaos to a real-life festival at Naka-Ikebukuro Park!
The event, titled Kaidan Festival, features character-inspired carnival-style games, original novelty items, and even a marching chindon’ya performance.

“Kaidan” (怪談) is a Japanese term for ghost stories or paranormal tales—think spooky, otherworldly folklore with a twist.
