List of Jazz Festivals and Jazz Streets Nationwide [2025–2026]

This jazz festival is held under the concept of preserving and nurturing the local jazz culture, focusing on jazz musicians living in Hokkaido who are active in the local scene year-round. The venue is Otaru, an excellent location that perfectly matches the atmosphere of jazz.

As a new festival organized by Ibaraki Broadcasting, the LuckyFM Green Festival has been held since 2022. Following the relocation of the ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL, the event has adopted the motto “Don’t let the flame of Ibaraki’s festival culture go out,” and has been reimagined with a new concept as a celebration of music, food, and art at its venue, Hitachi Seaside Park. Featuring local ingredients and a wide range of art and music genres, it’s also recommended as a family-friendly event. It’s sure to become one of your favorite summer memories!

The Jazz Picnic in Inagawa, a pioneering outdoor concert in the Kansai region, will be held again this year. This outdoor jazz festival has been running since 1989 and has featured numerous memorable performances. The venue is a special stage set up in the Inagawa Sports Park, where the lawn feels wonderful. At dusk, you can enjoy the perfect combination of jazz and the setting sun.
