Visitors can enjoy markets featuring unique works by candle artists from all over Japan, related merchandise, hands-on workshops, and the “Tokyo Tower Candle Night,” where thousands of candles are lit beneath the tower in sync with its lighting display — making for three days fully immersed in candle magic.

For this debut appearance, Sky has established a dedicated booth area within the venue to offer visitors immersive experiences reflecting the game’s world. In the world of Sky, candles symbolize friendship, kindness, and gratitude. The booth will use actual candles to portray a warm, gentle atmosphere.

The installation is created in collaboration with Peace Candle, aiming to create a dreamlike, serene space filled with soft light. The workshop will be specially produced under the direction of Mami KOU, one of Japan’s most popular candle artists.

Further SNS-themed initiatives related to the event are also planned — offering content that lets fans experience Sky’s warmth and sense of connection even online.
