The three-day event brings together collectors, enthusiasts, artists, and cultural voices to explore Polo’s enduring influence through vintage fashion, storytelling, and conversation.

TOKYO, JAPAN — PoloFest, a new cultural gathering dedicated to the world of Polo, will launch in Tokyo, Japan, bringing together collectors, enthusiasts, artists, and creative voices from around the world for a three-day celebration of the people, stories, objects, and ideas that have shaped—and been shaped by—the Polo community.

Ralph Lauren has always been more than a lifestyle brand. For nearly six decades, it has shaped a culture, a community, and a way of living. Now, for the first time ever, and on the heels of its 60th anniversary, PoloFest gathers collectors, creators, and longtime fans who have made that vision their own.

Each edition of PoloFest will examine the intersection of Polo history and style within the location in which it is held. For its inaugural event, Tokyo serves as a fitting backdrop to celebrate the longstanding relationship between Polo and Japan. Since 1976, the country has embraced Polo with a uniquely passionate and creative spirit, inspiring generations of collectors and enthusiasts through a shared appreciation for authenticity, craftsmanship, heritage style, and classic Americana.

The festival will feature an immersive exhibition of archival Polo Ralph Lauren collections and a live speaker series exploring the worlds that inspire the brand and the people who shape the community.

Additionally, PoloFest Tokyo will feature a vintage marketplace bringing together some of the most influential voices in the Polo collecting community.
