Fuji-Q Highland will hold FUJI-Q Disaster Festa 2026 on Saturday, September 26. The free Central Park program is scheduled from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM and combines hands-on disaster-preparedness activities with emergency-vehicle displays and family participation.

Short answerThe event itself is free and proceeds in rain, but severe weather can cancel it. The official lineup includes disaster-scenario VR, AED practice, a safety-whistle craft, fire and response vehicles, a bucket-relay activity, and a quiz; individual content may change without notice.

Key Facts For Travelers

Weather planHeld in rain; cancelled in severe weather.

Hands-On Safety Activities

The operator lists a first-time VR experience covering earthquake furniture falls, flood evacuation, and fire situations. Visitors can also practice AED and first-aid basics and decorate a disaster whistle.

These are educational demonstrations, not emergency services. Program content can change, so families should verify the current event page before making one activity the sole reason for the trip.

Vehicle Displays And Family Programs

The planned display includes fire vehicles, a Unimog-type response vehicle, and a Pajero-type response vehicle. The operator also lists children’s uniform photo opportunities, subject to the day’s event operation.

The color-ball bucket relay is designed to teach cooperation without using water. It is open to elementary-school-age children and older, with younger children able to join if they can hold a bucket. A disaster-preparedness quiz with prizes is also listed.

Rain And Park Admission Planning

Rain alone does not cancel the event, but severe weather does. Check the park’s official operating information on September 26 and bring rain protection that leaves hands free for activities.

Traveler Actions
