List of Family Festivals Nationwide [2026]

JOIN ALIVE has been held every year since 2010 at Iwamizawa Park, which features an open-air music hall and the Hokkaido Greenland amusement park. You sometimes hear about music festivals held at amusement parks, but a unique feature of JOIN ALIVE is that you can actually enjoy the rides there as well. This means families can attend without younger children getting bored. Admission is also free for junior high school students and younger, so this event may inspire many children to fall in love with music.

A music event that focuses on music—which surely played an important role in the lives of our predecessors—and aims to recreate the roots of how it was enjoyed. In addition to music, there’s food and workshops to enjoy. It’s a festival where you can have fun while thinking about and experiencing country living.

Earth Day has been held as a global festival in 175 countries, promoting a zero-waste approach while inviting everyone to think together about the planet’s future. Since 2001, Earth Day Tokyo has taken place in Yoyogi Park, with the aim of creating a space where people can reflect on what they can do for the Earth through live music, talk shows, and shopping, while fostering mutual respect. It’s a family-friendly festival featuring not only music but also a wide variety of food vendors and shops closely connected to everyday living.

JAZZ AUDITORIA, organized by Blue Note Tokyo—a jazz club where numerous top artists perform—will be held with free admission to make it easier and more accessible for people who love music to enjoy live music outdoors with their families and friends.
