Aichi Prefecture Festival Calendar [2026]: Outdoor Festivals and Events Summary

SOCIAL TOWER MARKET is held in the park with the TV Tower located right in the heart of Nagoya. Because the park is scheduled for renovation, 2018 will be the final year of the event. Admission is free, and in addition to live performances by various artists, a wide variety of vendors will set up shop, from delicious food and secondhand bookstores to clothing brands. With so many high-quality stores gathered in one place, why not come by—even from outside the prefecture—and enjoy a day of shopping?

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.
