All-Night Festivals Across Japan [2025]

SPOOKY PUMPKIN is a collaborative festival by Sanrio Puroland and the music production company Melody Fair Inc. Held since 2013, it’s a popular event that sells out every year. The highlight is the collaborative live performances by artists and Sanrio characters. Also, since November 1 is Hello Kitty’s birthday, everyone counts down together to celebrate, and there are special productions to enjoy each year. In 2020, it will be the first-ever livestreamed edition, so it’s exciting to see what kind of event it will become. Let’s enjoy a special Halloween night unlike any other!

An all-night rock festival held in June for those who can’t wait until summer! It’s a promising event curated by Jun Miura, a music TV producer and avid festival-goer, who has gathered artists he personally wants to see.

Did you know there’s a vast green open field in Tokyo? It was used as a venue for the Tokyo Olympics, and its area is said to be roughly the size of 10 Tokyo Domes. It hosts Tokyo’s largest outdoor festival, packed with things to enjoy—music, camping, gourmet food, fireworks, and Tokyo’s night skyline. As a camp-in festival, you can even bring your pets and spend time together, and if you choose a campsite in the music area, you can enjoy the stage right from your own tent. It’s the kind of event you’ll want to join every year as a summer festival to make family memories.

This event combines an outdoor rock festival with fireworks under the concept of “bringing a live house outdoors.” On the live stage, there are plans that allow filming of certain artists’ performances, which is a treat for fans. The event is imbued with the hope that it will become a new hangout born from musical connections, and a little joy in people’s daily lives. Remarkably, the organizers are a volunteer community, not an event-planning company or a group of band members. Founded by members outside the industry, GAGAFEST has expanded in scale and will energize the venue with an outdoor rock festival and full-scale fireworks. Bring your family and friends and join in!
