COMFES, an urban culture event where "clothing, food and music" intersect in Namba, Osaka, reaches its 10th edition. COMFES vol.10 takes place on Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22, 2026, at Minatomachi River Place (湊町リバープレイス), with free admission.
What Is COMFES? A Place Where People Connect
COMFES is a culture event set in a space where "clothing, food and music" intersect in Namba, Osaka.
Markets of vintage clothing, brands, and miscellaneous goods are joined by food and DJ music, creating a place where even people who have never been drawn to culture events can drop in and spend the day. Visitors can chat with shop owners while choosing clothes, or enjoy food with friends while listening to music. All around the venue, circles of people form naturally.
Admission is free, and the easygoing atmosphere that lets visitors drop in casually is part of what makes COMFES what it is.
The event has been held regularly at Minatomachi River Place since 2021, and vol.10 is the 10th edition overall. The previous edition, vol.9, recorded more than 10,000 visitors. Vintage clothing shops, brands, and miscellaneous goods shops from across Japan gather here, and the event has gradually widened its support, mainly among younger generations.
COMFES vol.10 Participating Shops: Shops from Across Japan Head to Namba, Osaka
About 80 shops from across Japan, not only the Kansai region, will gather. They include Pigsty, a popular Osaka shop; Sui Vintage, which has five stores in Tokyo; and TWOFACE, a Kyushu-based shop that presents vintage clothing from its own perspective.
Most of the participants are shops with physical stores or professionals who are continuously active in their regions. Rather than a simple flea market, the event brings together shops that each have their own perspective and style, creating a shopping experience unique to COMFES.

Vendors from genres other than fashion and miscellaneous goods are also joining.
Yutonamisha (ゆとなみ社)
Under the motto "Don't let sento disappear from Japan" (「銭湯を日本から消さない」), Yutonamisha specializes in taking over the operation of sento public baths and currently runs more than 10 of them. At COMFES, it will sell original goods that convey sento culture to the present day.
RUGMATAG
Based in Kita-Horie (北堀江), RUGMATAG offers everything from rug-making experiences to OEM manufacturing. At the venue, it will hold live tufting, weaving rugs on site, and sell original rugs.
With vendors that brighten everyday life itself, not just clothing, the range of "culture" that COMFES embodies widens further.

Food Broadens the Ways to Enjoy COMFES
The food booths feature a varied lineup. It includes THE SPICE Co., a popular Kyoto curry shop returning from the previous edition, as well as authentic tacos that suit a festival and fresh coffee made with in-house roasted beans. Beyond clothing and music, it will be a day to enjoy urban culture through taste as well.
The Venue Is Along the River in Namba
The venue, Minatomachi River Place (湊町リバープレイス), is a riverside location adjacent to the Amemura (アメ村) area. Vintage clothing and music culture is rooted in the surrounding area, making the location a good match for the atmosphere of COMFES.
In addition to the nearest station, JR Namba Station, the venue is within walking distance of Namba stations on the Osaka Metro, Kintetsu, and Hanshin lines.
Promotional Visuals Keep Evolving
COMFES has treated the event itself as a kind of "production."
In addition to the traditional flyer culture, it has adopted the latest digital expression in its promotion, such as teaser videos using 3DCG, and updates this with each edition.
For the milestone vol.10, 3DCG video was again used for the promotional visuals. Such approaches are still rare in fashion exhibitions and market events, and the visuals have drawn attention on social media even before the event.
"We want people to enjoy the event from the announcement stage."
With this in mind, COMFES plans to keep taking on new ways of presenting itself.

Future Outlook
Having created its own space at Minatomachi River Place over the course of 10 editions, COMFES aims to evolve further.
Going beyond the framework of a simple event, it plans to launch new initiatives from every angle to energize the city of Osaka itself. COMFES aims to expand its scale to Osaka and then to all of Japan.
