Held on the riverbed of the Chikuma River in Saku City, Nagano Prefecture, this fireworks festival is beloved as a local summer tradition. In 2026, its 64th edition, the number of programs has been slightly adjusted from previous years, with a more condensed presentation featuring approx. 4000 shells lighting up the night sky. On the day, not only fireworks but also various food stalls line the venue, drawing large crowds. Parking around the venue is limited, so public transportation is recommended. Conveniently located just a 7 min walk from JR Nakagomi Station.
