J-POP SUMMIT is a Japanese cultural festival held every summer since 2009 in San Francisco, California, United States.^[1] It is hosted by SUPERFROG Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

The festival brings together different aspects of Japanese culture, such as music, fashion, film, art, games, tech-innovations, anime, food, as well as niche subcultures.^[2] The festival is also getting attention by foreign companies and organizations as a promotional opportunity and an entry point into US markets.^{[citation needed]}

In 2014, the festival was held in Japantown and had over 125,000 in attendance over two days. Since 2015, the festival re-launched as an indoor event and expanded its area to different locations in the city: Fort Mason Center, Union Square, NEW PEOPLE Cinema, and Castro Theatre.^[2]
