June Music Festivals [2026] Outdoor Festivals & Events Summary

The Uwajima Hawaiian Festival is an event that began in Uwajima City, Ehime Prefecture, in 2011—ten years after the Ehime Maru incident—under the theme “For Smiles.” The venue is the Kisaiya Square at the Minato Oasis Uwajima roadside station, featuring stage shows such as hula performances and ukulele music, along with food and drink booths from all over Japan. In 2026, the 13th festival will be held over two days, June 6 and 7.

Asahikawa Music Week is a music event that turns the entire city into a stage under the banner “A week overflowing with music in Asahikawa,” transforming the early-summer streets. From the North Station Plaza and the Shopping Park to the Asahikawa Civic Culture Hall, inside JR Asahikawa Station, and AEON Mall Asahikawa Nishi, a wide range of genres—brass band, orchestra, choral, jazz, rock, pop, DJ, and traditional Japanese music—resonate together to color “Asahikawa, the Music City of the North.” Featuring performers selected through a public call, the 2026 edition will be held from June 7 to 14.
