Toyosu Yaon Carnival

There are already plenty of summer music festivals happening on the waterfront this year, but yet another outdoor celebration can't hurt, right? This one-day 'carnival' combines domestic rock and pop with traditional dance and music performances, so you'll be able to catch Osaka jazz unit Ego-Wrappin' in between samba dancers and Awa-odori gangs from Shonan, plus names like folk-rock singer Hitomi Yaida, quirky alt-pop trio Clammbon and free jazz ensemble Shibusashirazu Orchestra.
