List of Local Festivals Nationwide [2026]

Music Festival Master / Editor-in-ChiefHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC and in charge of music festivals. When I attended my first music festival as a freshman in college, I was captivated by its charm—“I can’t believe there’s a place this free and this fun.” I share information about wonderful music festivals every day to help grow the community of festival fans.

While calls for regional revitalization are echoing across the country, this time we’ve compiled information on locally rooted festivals.

Many of these events let you enjoy specialty products and local foods from each area, so they’re great not only for residents but also for those coming from afar—perfect to drop by while sightseeing.
