Current Incarnation	Jump Victory Carnival

V-Jump Festival was an event held by Shueisha in conjunction with their V-Jump magazine and overall "Jump" brand of publications, running from 1994 (when, following two trial periods over the course of 1990 to 1993, V-Jump then received a full monthly reboot publication in 1993) to 1999.

The event's title was often simplified in Japanese as Vフェス, which can be reasonably adapted with either "Fes" or "Fest" as an English translation. This is in contrast to an event such as Jump Festa which uses フェスタ (fesuta) or the full English word "festival" as フェスティバル (fesutibaru); that said, English text on collateral has spelled out the event's name at times as "V Jump Festival" as early as its 1994 debut, and lasting all the way to its final event.

V-Jump Festival ended with its 1999 event. Shueisha kicked off a larger event called Jump Festa later that year in December 1999 (dated for calendar year 2000), which continues to this day. With the launch of the magazine Saikyō Jump in 2010, V-Jump Festival as a sub-branded event was later spiritually reborn into Saikyō V-Jump Festa for 2012 and 2013, itself morphing into Jump Victory Carnival in 2014 (which, as with Jump Festa, still runs annually to this day).
