A new event is launching where you can casually enjoy music in the heart of Sapporo. For two days, on Saturday, June 27th, and Sunday, June 28th, 2026, the 'GREEN STREET×FROM STREET PROJECT powered by Eggs' will take place at SAPPORO CULTURE FARM / 凹場anaBa, a new outdoor spot in central Sapporo. This free-admission event features live performances by 12 artists with ties to Hokkaido, as well as food trucks and handmade goods. We spoke with Mr. Ikuma Kawakami from the executive committee about the highlights of this inaugural event.

――What inspired you to plan this event?

Ikuma Kawakami (hereafter, Kawakami): This event is produced in cooperation with Eggs, which supports the musical activities of indie and emerging artists. It was planned with the desire to expand opportunities for artists connected to Hokkaido to deliver their music on a street stage. I think it's a rare chance to enjoy live music in a well-equipped sound environment right in the middle of Sapporo, and outdoors at that. I hope it becomes an opportunity for people to discover the music of up-and-coming young artists.

――What kind of performers will be there?

Kawakami: We have a total of 12 acts, with six performing each day. The lineup includes Yuzu Minato, a 19-year-old singer-songwriter active in Tokyo; Gaku Wakatsuki, the vocalist of the 주목받는 young band KOHAKU, based in Sapporo; Sakura Hiraike, a singer-songwriter from Takikawa City; and Hina Kobashi, who has a solo concert coming up on July 3rd. Admission is free, so you can come and go as you please.

――So there are other booths to enjoy besides the music?

Kawakami: Under the theme of "Fashion x Food," we'll have a food truck from "dog kuu Do!" selling vintage clothing and hot dogs. There will also be booths selling handmade goods, such as "MADE BY WASHI!" which offers humorous character goods, and "nui nui," which sells original quirky stuffed animals. Additionally, we have the "anaBa Yakiniku" corner, which started this month, where you can enjoy Genghis Khan (Mongolian barbecue) and Yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) outdoors. Of course, you don't need to bring anything. Grills and other equipment are provided, so you can just show up and have fun.

――Finally, do you have a message for those looking forward to the event?

Kawakami: For two days under the Sapporo sky, 12 artists from Hokkaido will gather. Please enjoy discovering a diverse range of music while feeling the breeze blow through the city!
