Founded by Japanese singer-songwriter MINMI, Freedom Festival was launched in 2008 on the scenic Awaji Island in Japan. MINMI’s Freedom Festival was always about more than music — it was a tranquil space for self-expression and connection. With over 600,000 attendees across its Japanese editions, Freedom Festival has made its way to the U.S. as FREEDOM LA, bridging global artistry through music, food, and culture.
