Music festival held during the summer vacation [2025–2026]

BABY Q is an indoor festival that began in 2019 and is held irregularly as it tours various regions across Japan. The “Q” in the title carries the idea of “CUE,” as in providing a cue to discover great music, and “休” (rest), wishing for the best kind of holiday. Centered on stripped-down, singer-songwriter performances, it offers a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere—perfect for anyone seeking a rewarding, restorative day off. A portion of event proceeds will be donated as relief funds to areas affected by the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake. Join us and send your support.
