Oyumi-cho Fireworks Festival — you can't take your eyes off the shower of fireworks scattering sparks
On Saturday, August 15, 2026, about 3,500 shells fire over one hour from 19:30 around the Oyumi pond in Chiba City's Chuo Ward. Organized by the local neighborhood association, this community-rooted display draws about 20,000 visitors each year to a pond ringed by housing. The show opens with an extra-large starmine and set pieces, then fires starmine bursts in time with music. Keisei Gakuenmae Station is a 15-minute walk away, and there is no parking.
Run by the neighborhood association around a pond in the Oyumi district of Chiba City, this display keeps a distinctly local character while pulling in roughly 20,000 visitors a year. It opens on an extra-large starmine and set pieces, then layers large, medium and small starmine runs to music across the hour. The crowd rings the pond, so the launch point sits unusually close and the bursts feel big. Come on foot — 15 minutes from Keisei Gakuenmae Station — or by Kominato bus from JR Chiba Station (about 20 minutes) to Oyumi-sakashita, right by the water. There is no parking, so trains and buses are the way in. Food stalls gather around the venue.
