Hello everyone.
I would like to ask is there any apps or sites that shows listings of upcoming events/festivals ?
I check my local ward website for the events but would like to check other populars events and festivals too.
Since it is May and golden week begins from tommorow, there are many events happening, is there any sites to check it? Like fireworks, events, festivals time and venues and details.

The easiest thing is to just google イベント and the city name.
There are website like Walker Plus and Jalan too.
Depending on the type of event, this is a well-established medium.

The Japanese festival lists are probably more comprehensive than the English ones. In fact, there are actually quite a lot of sites with listings, either sorted by date/region, or which allow you to search. Here are a few:

I recommend using a translation tool if necessary.
