This event brings together a diverse collection of Hyogo Prefecture's representative festivals, offering a fresh experience that blends music and gastronomy. Following its successful debut last year, this second edition is set to be a massive event that energizes the entire Kobe waterfront.

The core appeal of this event is the "mashup" of music and food. It features a variety of renowned festivals such as ARIFUJI WEEKENDERS, ONE MUSIC CAMP, and MUSIC ZOO WORLD. Within the venues, you can explore a food market street that is free to enter, allowing you to enjoy local gourmet delicacies while listening to live music. It is a perfect experience for both music lovers and food enthusiasts alike.

The festival takes place on October 24, 2026 (Saturday). The celebration will unfold across several locations in the Kobe Bay Area, centered around TOTTEI PARK. Detailed timetables and artist lineups will be announced on the official website at a later date.

Venue & Access

The main venue is the new landmark TOTTEI PARK (2-1 Shinko-cho, Chuo-ku, Kobe). The event also spans multiple other locations throughout the Kobe Bay Area. The venues are located near popular sightseeing spots like Meriken Park and Harborland, making it easy to explore the scenic waterfront while moving between stages.

Tips for Participation

This is a "roaming" style event designed for exploration. Since multiple festivals run simultaneously, we recommend checking the lineup of your favorite artists or festivals in advance. Also, keep an eye out for the limited-edition "Super Early Bird Tickets" (5,800 JPY), which offer great value but are sold in limited quantities.

What to Bring & Etiquette

As the event is held in an outdoor bay area, please prepare for potential weather changes by bringing appropriate clothing. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes to move between venues easily and carrying small change for the food market. Please check the official website for specific ticket purchasing methods and event rules.
