List of Family Festivals Nationwide [2026]

Rainbow’s End is an outdoor acoustic festival that used to take place at the Maruyama Park Outdoor Music Hall, right next to Gion, where you can savor the essence of Kyoto. In 2026, it will move to Nantan City and be held as a camping festival. It will likely be a rare opportunity to hear acoustic performances by artists who usually play live with full band setups.

A new festival is being born in Kobe, a historic port city that has long shared diverse cultures with the world. From Meriken Park—where you can feel the pleasant sea breeze—the concept is to enjoy cruising through culture: music, art, fashion, delicious food, and more. It’s exciting to imagine what kinds of performances and experiences await. The venue is open-air, so with everyone’s cooperation to avoid crowding, it should be possible to enjoy the event safely. Why not refresh your mind by engaging all five senses?

A new experiential outdoor festival produced by the team behind ONE MUSIC CAMP, one of Kansai’s flagship open-air festivals, is coming soon. Built around the concept of offering a special outdoor festival experience unlike your usual weekend, you can enjoy not only live music, but also delicious food, outdoor activities, and workshops at a venue rich in natural beauty. The site is about an hour away by public transport from Kobe or Osaka, making it easy for families to attend. How about spending a fulfilling holiday together, stretching out and relaxing in an open, spacious setting?

This is a large-scale event held every March with the aim of connecting Hiroshima’s city and sea. The venue features a rich lineup, including popular food and drink vendors selected from across the country—along with beloved local spots—hands-on maritime activities you can enjoy by boarding a boat, and events on Ninoshima Island. At the Minato Stage music event, you can enjoy performances ranging from artists with ties to Hiroshima to up-and-coming next-generation musicians. There are plenty of activities for families to enjoy together.

This is the spring event of the Kochi Machi La La La Music Festival, held in the heart of Kochi City. As the season begins to feel like spring, the festival offers outdoor live performances that turn the city into a stage, creating a warm atmosphere that brings performers and audience closer together. It’s beloved by both residents and participating artists. Anyone who loves music can enjoy this event as the city and audience come together as one, making it highly recommended for those who want to start making music, those thinking about taking it up again, or anyone interested in participating in various ways.

Around the time of the Meiji Restoration, the Nagaoka Domain, which had been given one hundred bags of rice, chose not to consume them—since they would be gone immediately—but instead sold the rice and used the proceeds to build a school, successfully cultivating human talent. Inspired by this “Spirit of One Hundred Bags of Rice,” we aim to create a future-oriented festival—the most comfortable festival in Japan. Enjoy the ultimate two days of fireworks, food, and music.
