June Music Festivals [2026] Outdoor Festivals & Events Summary

Pangea EXPO is a circuit-style music event held across the entire area to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the live music venue Pangea, which was founded in 2011 in Osaka’s America-mura. Using multiple nearby venues such as BIGCAT, ANIMA, SUNHALL, and HOKAGE, the event allows attendees to walk around the neighborhood while enjoying performances by a diverse lineup of artists. It is presented by GREENS, a leading live event promoter, with support from FM802. The event will take place on June 13, 2026.

The "Sapporo Festival" is the annual grand festival of Hokkaido Shrine. Since June 15 was designated as the festival day in 1872, it has continued as a seasonal tradition heralding the arrival of summer in Sapporo. During the festival, food stalls and dedication stages line the shrine grounds and Nakajima Park. On the procession of the 16th, led by lantern-lit festival music, more than 1,000 participants dressed in period costumes—such as Sarutahiko and the Ishin Kinno-tai—parade through the city together with nine festival floats. In 2026, the festival will be held from June 14 to 16.
