Autumn Music Festival Schedule Summary [2025–2026]

A wide variety of artists will perform live at nearly 40 venues set up throughout downtown Sendai. Just like choosing your favorite dishes in a bustling cafeteria where people gather, the event is held with the hope that you’ll discover and savor your very own music from the wealth of sounds from around the world spilling across the city. That’s the true charm of a jazz street.

This is a music event that has been held since 2013 to energize entertainment in Kitakata. The participating artists range from amateurs to professionals, and the genres are mixed—band performances, acoustic sets, and dance performances set to music. The event has grown larger every year, and visitors now come from outside the prefecture as well. Come join in the fun with the people around you and enjoy local food and delicious sake while you’re at it.

The music festival organized by the nationwide fashion brand “niko and …” will take place in Tokyo. Held over two days at Shinagawa Season Terrace, the event features artists whose styles align well with the brand’s calm aesthetic. Centered on the nine themes it advocates—uni9ue sences (clothing, food, housing, play, knowledge, wellness, music, travel, and TOKYO)—the festival offers not only music but also a wide range of hands-on activities and workshops for participants.
