For the third consecutive year, Offenbach-based Falken Tyre Europe GmbH is proud to sponsor the Main Matsuri Japan Festival, taking place from 15 to 17 August 2025 in Büsing Park, Offenbach.
Over the course of three days, this popular summer festival will immerse visitors in the rich and vibrant culture of Japan - from live music and traditional dance to cosplay, street food, and hands-on creative workshops. More than 200 artists from Japan and Germany will deliver a colourful and diverse programme designed to captivate both dedicated fans and first-time visitors alike.
The festival’s mission is to build bridges - between tradition and modernity, between cultures, and between people. It’s a vision Falken Tyre Europe is proud to support.
“Our products embody precision, innovation, and reliability - values deeply rooted in Japanese culture,” says Markus Bögner, Managing Director and President of Falken Tyre Europe GmbH. “Main Matsuri offers a unique opportunity to showcase this connection in a truly special way.”

FALKEN takes first place in the BRV Service Award: German Tyre Retail and Vulcanisation Trade Association (BRV) announced tyre brand FALKEN, part of Dunlop Tyre Europe GmbH, as the winner at the BRV General Meeting on 8 June 2026.
Falken is reinforcing its position as a sporty, multi-segment tyre brand at THE TIRE COLOGNE 2026. The exhibition presence addresses the passenger car, off-road and commercial vehicle sectors alike, with a strong focus on the design of technical performance characteristics for use under realistic operating conditions.
Despite a strong performance, Falken Motorsports did not have the necessary racing luck at this year’s ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring. After an impressive comeback, the Japanese tyre manufacturer’s team was forced to end the race prematurely in the first half following an unfortunate accident. Up until that point, Klaus Bachler, Morris Schuring, Sven Müller, and Tim Heinemann had been battling for top positions in front of more than 350,000 spectators along the Nordschleife, steadily working their way up the field with consistently fast lap times.
