List of summer festivals in Eastern Japan held during summer vacation [2025–2026]: Rock festivals and outdoor music festivals

Held as a flagship summer event of Minamisoma City in Fukushima Prefecture, it aims to widely showcase the region’s appeal, revitalize the local community, and connect the future with younger generations. Although it was suspended after the Great East Japan Earthquake, it was revived in 2022 with a new concept. On the event stage, performances and live music by local and well-known artists are featured, and fireworks are launched at night. It’s also recommended for families, with classic festival food stalls and game booths, as well as water play areas for children, so you can enjoy a full day of fun.

This festival is organized by young people who share the goal of revitalizing Yokote and conveying its appeal to others. It’s designed to foster a sense of unity, with shopkeepers doing business in front of their stores, local gourmet vendors setting up booths, and eco-friendly activities that are gentle on the city—all to create a festival that the whole community can get excited about.

A music event held at Bandai City Park in Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture. Centered around DJs, a variety of top artists will deliver live performances. As a special feature of this event, attendees can enjoy numerous perks, such as discounted admission and unlimited drinks for women.
