Plenna is delighted to wish every success to DeathFes 2026, taking place between 11-16 April 2026.

DeathFes is a remarkable event, unique in its scope and approach: a “festival to re-encounter the theme of death” in Japan.  It innovatively addresses how we think about and plan for death, through facilitating co-creation, corporate services, community building, and research and analysis.

Find out more on the Plenna Japanese end-of-life country signpost, which contains links to a short video profiling the 2025 event.  Spread over six days with 68 programmes, 4,200 people attended.

DeathFes organizers presented at the launch of Plenna’s website on 25 September 2025.  Plenna is also grateful for support from DeathFes validating Japanese translations for the website.

Plenna welcomes financial and in-kind contributions to help advance its goals, including finalizing and launching the Japanese website.
