November Music Festivals [2025–2026]: A roundup of autumn festivals, outdoor rock fests, and other music events

This is a free admission event themed around Food, Farming, and Music, organized primarily by local farmers and centered on singer-songwriter Caravan. Although Chigasaki is often associated with the sea, its northern area features beautiful fields and greenery, and farming is thriving. However, illegally dumped trash has become a problem. Because the mountains, rivers, and sea are all connected in this region, the event aims to inspire a shift in participants’ awareness and help expand cleanup efforts. To protect this landscape and pass it on to future generations, we will share messages through music that encourage people to think about the environment. Why not enjoy locally grown vegetables sold directly by farmers and meals from food trucks, and take the time with your family to think about the future?

Born from a desire to share the power of music and new culture and arts from Awaji Island with the world, AWAJIN Fes was created to drive growth. While most music festivals so far have mainly featured artists from outside the island, this festival centers on performers from Awaji Island. You can enjoy traditional, locally rooted music, as well as stages by students who live on the island—an event that passes music on to a new generation. Keep an eye on the music born from Awaji Island’s unique sensibilities. Surrounded by abundant nature, you’ll likely feel your mind and body revitalized by the energy of the music nurtured on this island.

This is an event held around the north exit of JR Nakano Station. It’s a festival centered on Shiki-no-Mori Park, and on the same day another event, the Nakano Minami-guchi Waiwai Festival, takes place around the south exit of JR Nakano Station. A highlight of the north exit is the setup of a skateboard park.
