Editor-in-Chief, RAG MUSICHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

There are many universities in the Kanto area, and during the campus festival seasons in spring and autumn, festivals are held every year with a wide variety of themes and concepts.

These events are packed with highlights, including programs featuring famous artists and comedians, as well as exhibitions and hands-on activities that showcase students’ unique ideas.

In this article, we will introduce the schedules of campus festivals held at universities across the Kanto region.

Check out the festivals that catch your eye, and if something interests you, be sure to visit in person and experience the appeal for yourself.

School Festival | Osaka University of ArtsSun 11/2 – Mon 11/3, Osaka Prefecture

Every year, numerous live performance booths are set up, and music can be heard from all around at the school festival. There are also many food stalls, and attractions like the haunted house are so popular that tickets sell out quickly. As you’d expect from an art university, the layout of the latter is unique and makes it fun to explore.
