Harukaze, a spring free festival beloved at Yoyogi Park, centers on cherry-blossom viewing, music, and art—an event that lets you fully feel the season. This year, there’s also an evening program, making it an event where you can enjoy plenty of music.

Yoyogi Park is transforming into Okinawa! An immersive outdoor festival will let you feel like you’ve traveled to the islands. On the music stage, artists with ties to Okinawa will fire up the crowd. Join the Okinawa Open-Air Classroom to learn about Okinawan culture in a participatory, lesson-style format, and if you master the Kachāshī dance, you’ll enjoy the live performances even more. You can snack on Okinawan dishes and drinks from over 40 vendors, and even pick up souvenirs normally only available locally. At the experience booth, you can try on traditional Okinawan attire and take photos—perfect for commemorative shots with kids or your dog. We highly recommend joining with the whole family!

In our “Free Music Festival,” the word “free” embodies three meanings: free of charge, freedom, and freedom from various boundaries. It’s a festival where artists of diverse genres perform, offering enjoyment across generations and opportunities for new discoveries.

A spring festival for citizens will be held in Shiraoka City, Saitama Prefecture! Local amateur bands active in the area will perform on the outdoor stage next to the Shiraoka City Hall. The performers’ styles are diverse—blues, bossa nova, hard rock, and even high school bands from within the city—energizing the crowd with powerful shows. To make it a beloved event for the community, admission is free, so it’s a highly recommended festival that anyone can enjoy with ease!

This music festival was created to provide a venue for young people engaged in musical activities in Sagamihara City. With the city’s support, the participating bands themselves handle planning and operations. It takes place over two days: a festival stage purely for enjoying music, and a contest stage where skills are put to the test. The contest stage promises to be a hotly contested battleground where bands compete with passion and technique for the top prize. Thinking that a band could debut on the national stage from here makes it impossible to take your eyes off the ones you’ll want to support.
