In this article, we’ll introduce a roundup of music festivals taking place in May.

With the refreshing early-summer breeze, this is the perfect season to soak up music outdoors, and there are plenty of events happening.

“Teenage Weekend” is a one-day outdoor festival hosted by Teenage Brewing, a craft beer brewery in Tokigawa, Saitama, to celebrate its 3rd anniversary. With the theme of “Commune (community),” it creates an ideal haven in the satoyama countryside where the anniversary beer is tapped early and local food and music blend together.
