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

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.

We’ve put together a roundup of music festivals in Gifu Prefecture, including summer festivals, rock festivals, and outdoor festivals.

Events like the Gifu Jazz Festival, Ibigawa Wonder Picnic, and Nakatsugawa Solar Budokan will be back again this year—we look forward to seeing you at these exciting gatherings!
