July Music Festivals [2025]: A roundup of summer festivals, outdoor rock festivals, and other music events

This is a DJ party held at The SUNSET Pier & Café in Inage Seaside Park every Saturday and Sunday from July through September. Admission is free, and some seats are available for a fee. The music genre changes each day, so it’s an event you can enjoy every weekend without getting bored!

Organized by the web magazine “earth garden,” this event is a community festival themed around an “organic and ecological lifestyle,” featuring not only live performances but also talk sessions, eco-organic shops, and food and drink booths lined up together. Although earth garden originally operated as an event production office, it gradually began running media as well, approaching outdoor festival management as a form of media operation. This edition is the third of four annual events—the summer installment.

GANKE FES has been held in Shintoku, Hokkaido since 2014. Of course you can enjoy the music, but there’s also a campground, art events, and workshops, making it a packed festival that families with children can enjoy. Plus, the ticket options are great, with discounts for town residents and tickets available through the hometown tax program!

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.
