127th Omigawa Fireworks Festival

127th Omigawa Fireworks Festival

Event Overview

One of the most historically significant and large-scale fireworks festivals in the Kanto region, it has been illuminating the night sky of Omigawa since 1908. The spectacular fireworks, utilizing the surface of the Tone River, are a unique feature of this city blessed with water and greenery, especially the massive underwater star mines that explode in the vast sky above the Tone River, providing an impressive sight. Additionally, the "Shakudama Competition," where pyrotechnicians from across the country bring their finest fireworks and compete in beauty, is a highlight of this event. Due to the narrow roads and expected heavy congestion, the use of public transportation is recommended. In 2026, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the merger of Katori City, the number of fireworks launched will be increased from previous years, with plans to launch approximately 10,000 fireworks in grand fashion.
