The Miyazaki International Street Music Festival began in 2006 and is held with free admission throughout the city center under the theme “In Miyazaki, there’s a season when music blossoms,” so that residents can become more familiar with the festival. Featuring a wide variety of artists—from local street musicians to performers from overseas across many genres—it provides an opportunity to enjoy a diverse music culture. It’s also recommended as an event that tourists from Japan and abroad can easily enjoy.
