Family Festivals Nationwide List [2025–2026]

Born from a desire to share the power of music and new culture and arts from Awaji Island with the world, AWAJIN Fes was created to drive growth. While most music festivals so far have mainly featured artists from outside the island, this festival centers on performers from Awaji Island. You can enjoy traditional, locally rooted music, as well as stages by students who live on the island—an event that passes music on to a new generation. Keep an eye on the music born from Awaji Island’s unique sensibilities. Surrounded by abundant nature, you’ll likely feel your mind and body revitalized by the energy of the music nurtured on this island.

This is a free admission event themed around Food, Farming, and Music, organized primarily by local farmers and centered on singer-songwriter Caravan. Although Chigasaki is often associated with the sea, its northern area features beautiful fields and greenery, and farming is thriving. However, illegally dumped trash has become a problem. Because the mountains, rivers, and sea are all connected in this region, the event aims to inspire a shift in participants’ awareness and help expand cleanup efforts. To protect this landscape and pass it on to future generations, we will share messages through music that encourage people to think about the environment. Why not enjoy locally grown vegetables sold directly by farmers and meals from food trucks, and take the time with your family to think about the future?

A new live event is being held in the lead-up to the 2025 Japan International Exposition in Osaka. The concept is that anyone who loves music can take part. One of the Expo’s goals is to showcase cutting-edge technology and art to the world, and this event also leverages technology so that everyone—including people with disabilities—can enjoy music on an equal footing. Features include glasses-style displays that show song lyrics and MC talk in real time as text, options to enjoy the live video on tablet devices, designated wheelchair seating, and sign language interpretation. It will be exciting to see what kind of production a music event tailored to a new era will offer. Be sure to experience it for yourself!

This event is held at the expansive Akigase Park in Saitama City. It’s an event brimming with the organizers’ desire to create a space where people can come together not only for music, but also to share heartfelt food, art, and more, and deepen their connections.
