Hokkaido Music Festivals [2026]: Outdoor Festivals and Events Roundup

A free outdoor festival held in front of Tomakomai Station in Hokkaido! Kassei no Hi has been running since 2014. Through this music event, we aim to generate vibrancy and revitalize the downtown area around Tomakomai Station. The town center should be a symbol of the city and a source of pride. We hope it becomes a place where everyone can have fun and a spark that gives the younger generation dreams.

A summer event will be held at the Furano Ski Resort in Hokkaido. Under the theme “Resonating Senses — MIX ENTERTAINMENT,” a variety of content is prepared for you to enjoy in nature. At the venue overlooking Furano’s vast mountains—where your heart feels set free—there will be not only a music stage but also performances by artists to elevate the excitement. You can savor Hokkaido’s distinctive gourmet foods, and activities that engage all five senses are available for children as well, making this an event highly recommended for families.

“LOVETOYA,” held in Toyako, Hokkaido since 2011, is a festival set in a nature-rich location that includes campsites. And the best part: it’s a generous festival with free admission! That said, to help keep the event going, there’s a donation box provided—so don’t forget to bring some cash for tips!

This jazz festival is held under the concept of preserving and nurturing the local jazz culture, focusing on jazz musicians living in Hokkaido who are active in the local scene year-round. The venue is Otaru, an excellent location that perfectly matches the atmosphere of jazz.
