The “CRAFT” in CRAFT ROCK refers to craft beer. In other words, it’s a festival of beer and music. What’s more, there’s even a seated, full-service restaurant—rare for a rock festival—aiming to create a “fun and delicious fest.” With soothing music, a wide variety of beers, and tasty food, you’ll leave with both your stomach and your heart completely satisfied.

OKINAWA FES MilafefeSat 5/16 – Sun 5/17, Tokyo

Yoyogi Park is transforming into Okinawa! An immersive outdoor festival will let you feel like you’ve traveled to the islands. On the music stage, artists with ties to Okinawa will fire up the crowd. Join the Okinawa Open-Air Classroom to learn about Okinawan culture in a participatory, lesson-style format, and if you master the Kachāshī dance, you’ll enjoy the live performances even more. You can snack on Okinawan dishes and drinks from over 40 vendors, and even pick up souvenirs normally only available locally. At the experience booth, you can try on traditional Okinawan attire and take photos—perfect for commemorative shots with kids or your dog. We highly recommend joining with the whole family!

Musashino Music FestivalSaturday, May 16, Tokyo Metropolis

Rennon Sound Carnival is a circuit-style event held throughout Kichijoji. Over 30 artists will perform live across six venues set up in Kichijoji. Since it’s a circuit event, attendees move between venues to catch their favorite acts, but one of the charms of this format is stumbling into a venue on a whim and unexpectedly falling in love with a new, unknown artist’s live performance.
