This study examines a world music event hosted in Fukuno, Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture to illuminate the local assimilation process of foreign music, focusing on the relationship between music and the community. Through interviews with various stakeholders, I demonstrate that the primary objective of the event was not solely to enjoy the music, but rather to employ music as a tool for revitalizing the community. Consequently, music in Fukuno became linked to local components and embraced as regional music. Through this assimilation process, three pivotal moments emerged. The first was the establishment of a citizen orchestra in 1995, formed predominantly by local residents. This led to the emergence of world music experts in the community and deepened residents’ music comprehension. Subsequently, since 1999, local temples and shopping centers have served as event venues, actively generating opportunities for local residents to engage with music. The most influential initiative was a parade formation in 2008. The parade encompassed not only world music-related groups, but also local schoolchildren and indigenous festivalgoers, expanding the parade’s audience to residents who previously had less interest in world music. Moreover, the inclusion of Fukuno’s indigenous music in the event played an essential role in residents’ perception of the occasion as Fukuno’s unique world music event
