Article

Jump Festa 2027 — Shueisha's annual flagship fan event for its Jump line of magazines — has its dates confirmed: December 19-20, 2026, at Makuhari Messe in Chiba. As with every past edition, the "2027" in the name refers to the edition year the event leads into, not the calendar year it's actually held in.

Venue, Access and Admission

Per the official site (jumpfesta.com): the event uses Makuhari Messe's International Exhibition Halls 1-9 and 11, 9:00 AM-5:00 PM both days (last entry 4:30 PM; some stage programs run past 5:00 PM). Admission is free, but requires advance application and is invitation-based — every visitor aged elementary-school or older needs an e-ticket issued through the official "Jump NAVI" app. Ticket applications are scheduled to open November 2, 2026 at 10:00 AM and close November 16 at 5:59 PM; a separate digital-subscriber/proof-card application window already closed October 26.

Stages and Programs

The official site names three stage sections — Jump Super Stage, Jump Studio, and Jump Station Online — plus booth, market, and kids' areas, without yet listing specific participating series or performers on its top page; a detailed stage-program page exists on the official site but was not part of this article's verification. Secondary press coverage (Final Weapon, Animehunch) has separately reported a preliminary lineup of 34 series across 3 stages including One Piece, Kagurabachi, Naruto, and Black Clover, but this is not confirmed on the official site itself as of this writing.

What To Know

Jump Festa is Shueisha's single biggest annual fan event, and its anime-stage announcements routinely include new season reveals, cast announcements, and surprise crossovers across its biggest franchises — making each year's stage lineup genuine news for readers tracking any Shonen Jump series.

The "2027" in the event's name follows Shueisha's own long-standing naming convention of naming each Jump Festa edition after the year it leads into, even though the event itself is always held in December of the preceding calendar year — this is not a typo or scheduling confusion, and TBM's own earlier explainer article on Jump Festa already notes this pattern.
