Over approximately 30 minutes, about 3,000 fireworks (including starmines and shakudama) are launched into the night sky one after another. Since they are launched from the sea, beautiful lights reflect on the water's surface, and you can experience the 'loud, rumbling sound of fireworks' unique to the mountainous terrain.

During the day, it bustles with popular events for children like 'fish grabbing', stage performances, and various bazaars. The biggest highlight is the night fireworks display (approx. 2,300-2,900 fireworks)! The sight of giant fireworks launched directly behind the illuminated 'Tatara Bridge' is a supremely photogenic spectacle that can only be seen on the Shimanami Kaido.
