How we checked
Last checked October 20, 2026 against city.saku.nagano.jp. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.
Notes from the last check
The 2026 edition (3–5 May 2026, Saku City, Chikuma River Sports Exchange Square) is evidenced on official-tourism and city pages, but no 2027 dates or other upcoming-edition announcement could be verified, so the next edition is recorded as tba.
