Fireworks Festival・Summer Festival
Moon Viewing Festival (Grand Fireworks Display)
🎇 Toon City's largest fireworks display, beautifully coloring the night sky and surface of the Shigenobu River! A super-large event that concludes Toon City's summer, attracting over 30,000 visitors annually. In addition to live music on a special stage and the traditional Suiten-gu Festival, the grand finale features approximately 5,000 spectacular fireworks (number varies by year) launched from the Shigenobu River riverbed.
Experience incredibly powerful fireworks at close range, as if raining down directly overhead, from the excellent location of the riverbed.
