41st Echigo Kamogawa Summer Festival Grand Fireworks Festival - The waterfall of light flowing before your eyes is spectacular
The fireworks finale of the Echigo Kamogawa Summer Festival, held on August 14 on the Kamogawa riverbed in Kamo, Niigata. About 1,000 shells in 30 minutes from 8:30 pm, with fountain fireworks rigged on a mid-river islet and a grand Niagara sweeping across the town bridge at the close.
The riverside program also includes lantern floating and a grand bon dance in the same grounds. Access is by train — Kamo Station is a ten-minute walk — as there is no parking at the venue. Arrive about an hour early for a good riverside spot.
