Kasukabe Giant Kite Fireworks Festival: Star mines, small fireworks and other fireworks color the night sky of Kasukabe
Closing out the community summer festival in Kasukabe, Saitama, the Kasukabe O-Dako fireworks send about 1,000 shells up over roughly 50 minutes from 20:10 on Saturday, August 22, 2026 at Showa General Park. The festival even recruits participants for its torch-lighting ceremony. The nearest station, Minami-Sakurai on the Tobu Urban Park Line, is a 25-minute walk away, and because parking is limited, official guidance points visitors to public transport.
This display closes out the Showa-district summer in Kasukabe, serving as the finale of the local community festival. From 20:10, about 1,000 shells paint the park's sky for 50 minutes, and the festival's torch-lighting ceremony — open to participants — gives the evening a local, shared feel. Showa General Park is a 25-minute walk from Minami-Sakurai Station on the Tobu Urban Park Line. With parking capacity tight, the official guidance recommends trains over cars; paid grandstand seats are offered and food stalls set up on site. Drivers coming via the Tohoku Expressway Iwatsuki IC (about 30 minutes) should allow extra time for congestion.
