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

This is a jazz festival held at Granship, the convention center in Shizuoka Prefecture! Large big bands from across the prefecture will gather in force, filling the hall with colorful sounds. There’s hardly any other event where you can enjoy so much tightly coordinated, powerful jazz in a single day. On the day of the event, there will also be a corner where you can try out instruments used in jazz, making it a fun outing for families as well.

This festival is being held out of the organizer ADAM at’s desire to spread instrumental music further and to let more people know about Hamamatsu, the “city of instruments” that thrives on the musical instrument industry. An instrumental music festival is pretty rare, isn’t it? Why not take this opportunity to check it out?

It’s a camping festival held at the foot of Mount Fuji that started in 2019. Not only can you enjoy wonderful music, but there are also films and various workshops. Watching movies under the starry sky, surrounded by great nature, is sure to be amazing!

A festival for car enthusiasts, it truly lives up to the name “IKURA’s American Festival.” Held at Fuji Speedway, it centers on user-participation events, letting you experience grown-up fun with authentic American cars and Harleys. It’s a festival brimming with masculine energy.
