Chiba Festival Calendar [2026]: A Roundup of Music Festivals and Outdoor Events

Nuts Party is a festival held at Chiba Port Park. While feeling the sea breeze, you can enjoy not only music but also dance and art, making it an event the whole family can enjoy. On the day, you can expect not only food stalls from all over Japan, but also yoga schools, apparel vendors, and various hands-on experiences. It’s not just a music festival—it’s also an event that proposes a lifestyle. Discounted advance tickets are available, so if you’re interested, we recommend checking it out early.

Ichikawa Music Park is a community-focused music festival held in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture, that began in 2018. Not only musicians from Ichikawa but also top performers from across Japan appear at several venues around the city. In addition to professional musicians, performances by local junior high and high school brass bands are featured, making it an event that people of all ages and musical tastes can enjoy. Guided by the festival’s philosophy of connecting beyond differences, it promises a fun and inclusive experience.

Jazz Cruising, where you can enjoy a live jazz performance and a cruise at the same time, the four-day Jazz Week featuring live shows by both professional and amateur jazz musicians leading up to the main Jazz Street event, and then the main Jazz Street itself! It’s the ultimate event where professional performers play right near you at cafes and bars!

A lot of the up-and-coming artists everyone’s talking about will be performing. You can catch a wide range of acts all at once—from fresh faces lighting up the band scene to singers shaking up the acoustic world. Why not make it a memory to close out the summer?

Muni Fest is a free outdoor rock event held under the slogan “Street performances for rock bands too!” Its appeal lies in the chance to casually enjoy high-quality indie rock bands that you rarely get to see outside of live houses. Be the first to witness the dawn of Japan’s music scene with your own eyes.
