Asahikawa Bluegrass FestivalHokkaido, Sat 9/12–Sun 9/13
The Asahikawa Bluegrass Festival is a bluegrass celebration held every September in Asahikawa, Hokkaido. The venue is the Shimada Music Hall in Etanbetsu, Asahikawa City—its exterior looks like a red-roofed cowshed, but inside it’s a beautiful concert hall. Because it’s held indoors, performances can proceed smoothly even in rainy years, offering peace of mind. In 2026, the festival will take place over two days, September 12 and 13, marking the 10th edition following the 9th held the previous year.
| Schedule | Sat–Sun, Sep 12–13, 2026 |
