Chiba Festival Calendar [2025–2026]: A roundup of music festivals and outdoor events

ASOBIEXPO is buzzing not only with music, but also with shows and limited-time shops. The lineup is incredible, and believe it or not, admission is free with advance registration—though it’s by lottery. It’s an event packed with pop culture that will keep you fully inspired.

Originally held as a live event at a bar in 2006, this event has been refined through changes in venue and format, and since 2016 it has been hosted as a free beach event. Because it’s free, it’s an easygoing festival that people of all ages can enjoy.

A free live concert where the sea and music become one will be held on a beautiful beach in Onjuku, Chiba—perfect for that time of year when you’re reluctant to let go of summer. It’s a chance to enjoy heartwarming performances from artists while feeling the ocean breeze. From an outdoor stage just steps from the shore, music that will move you will spread across the venue. If you find a favorite artist, show your support with a tip. There will also be food trucks and stalls selling handmade goods and other items, offering opportunities for new discoveries. Come join the event with friends and family.

In summer, there are many ways to enjoy the sea, but we also engage in activities to protect this precious environment. OCEAN PEOPLES is an event that not only lets you have fun, but also inspires you to think about conserving the ocean and beaches. In addition to live music, you can enjoy a food festival and stalls selling various goods.
