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

A festival with the concept “Dance JAZZY, not JAZZ.” It stylishly showcases the next-generation JAZZY sound. Drawing on elements from the many genres the 2000s generation has listened to—jazz, rock, hip-hop, reggae, house, electronica, and more—it centers its concept around the axis of “JAZZY.”

This event has been held since 2007 as a continuation of a jazz event that ran for 30 years until 2003. It has grown larger each year, bringing together over 30 groups and more than 300 performers, and with an expected audience of 3,000, it’s said to be the largest ever. The venue, Madarao Kogen, is a ski resort set in great natural surroundings. It sounds like a day where you can feel truly refreshed.
