The Sharp Festival, which used to be a Sharp employee and family event at each plant, now includes the community. Featuring cultural and sports programs, the Sharp Festivals are increasingly being held in unison with community events and are becoming an integral part of community itineraries.

Sharp has recreation grounds, tennis courts, gymnasiums and other recreational facilities that it opens to local athletic groups and organizations, such as youth baseball and soccer teams, and women's volleyball. In fiscal 2005, more than 34,000 people used the facilities.

Since 1998, the labor union and management of the Fukuyama Plant have been donating Sharp products to local schools. In fiscal 2005, the plant donated Sharp air purifiers to 12 elementary schools in Fukuyama City.
