Ringo Music Festival 2026 — keeping Matsumoto's outdoor fest alive
Conclusion: a ¥3.6M goal → ~¥6.24M from 609 backers — a fest fighting to continue (2026, funded).
Why you'll want to back it
Held at Matsumoto's Alpen Park in Nagano since 2008, the Ringo Music Festival ran this campaign to keep going amid pandemic-era accumulated losses and rising costs. Against a ¥3.6M goal it drew ¥6,244,373 from 609 backers (173%) and also cleared its stretch goal.
What moved people
Seventeen years of attachment to a place, and an organiser's frank wish to continue. It's a classic music-festival campaign where fans back it as members of the community.
