Mizuhashi Bridge Festival — the 'floating fire' lit on the Shiraiwa River in Mizuhashi unites with the fireworks
Mizuhashi Bridge Festival fireworks rise over the Shiraiwa River in Toyama on July 25 — about 3,000 shells in 30 minutes from 8 pm, with music-synced star mines and staged pieces launched from mid-river and off the river mouth, best seen from the bridges themselves.
Watching from atop Ura Bridge and Higashi-Nishi Bridge is the event's signature experience, with hiinagashi lantern lights drifting on the river below. From Ainokaze Toyama Railway Mizuhashi Station it is a 20-minute walk; 3,000 temporary free parking spaces are provided, though roads around the venue clog after the finale — allow time for the trip back.
