Kawa Fireworks Festival: The roar of fireworks echoes through the Bon Odori venue
Kawa Fireworks light up Kawa Port in Mihama Town, Aichi, on Friday, August 14, 2026, sending about 1,000 shells over the water for a full hour from 8 p.m. Held as part of the town's bon-dancing festival, the display rings with the drums and chanchiki clappers of the Kawa ondo as bursts explode close over the harbor. The venue is a 5-minute walk from Meitetsu Kawa Station, and with no dedicated parking, arriving by train is the sensible default.
This display forms one half of Mihama's bon-odori festival night: the drums and chanchiki of the Kawa ondo echo across the port while dancers circle below and fireworks bloom overhead. The combination gives the evening a texture you won't find at standalone shows. About 1,000 shells rise over an hour from 8 p.m., with launch barges moored so close that light spills across the harbor surface. Meitetsu Kawa Station is a 5-minute walk from the venue and there is no dedicated parking — plan on the train. No food stalls are set up either, so come prepared.
