List of Free-Admission Festivals Nationwide [2026]

This is a free admission event themed around Food, Farming, and Music, organized primarily by local farmers and centered on singer-songwriter Caravan. Although Chigasaki is often associated with the sea, its northern area features beautiful fields and greenery, and farming is thriving. However, illegally dumped trash has become a problem. Because the mountains, rivers, and sea are all connected in this region, the event aims to inspire a shift in participants’ awareness and help expand cleanup efforts. To protect this landscape and pass it on to future generations, we will share messages through music that encourage people to think about the environment. Why not enjoy locally grown vegetables sold directly by farmers and meals from food trucks, and take the time with your family to think about the future?

In 2003, with the hope of “someday holding a citywide jazz event in Okazaki like the Kobe Jazz Street,” the precursor to the current executive committee, the Okazaki Jazz Fun Club, was established. After three years of preparation, the first Okazaki Jazz Street was held in 2006, and it has since become a staple autumn event. The festival features both free and paid venues, with nearly 300 musicians performing.
