49th Kasai Saisai Festival: Fireworks launched with surging force at the finale are full of impact
Kasai's Saisai Matsuri packs dance shows and live music on two stages, a haunted house and some 130 night stalls onto the city-hall car park, closing with about 1,000 fireworks in a 20-minute burst from 20:30 on 2 August. Free car parks at the Kasai Health and Welfare Centre, ASTEIA Kasai and Aladdin Stadium absorb arrivals, and the venue sits ten minutes by car from Kasai IC on the Chugoku Expressway.
The Kasai Saisai Matsuri, the city's summer fixture, runs on the special stage grounds of Kasai City Hall's car park on 2 August. Two stages carry dance performances and music live sets, while the haunted house and roughly 130 night stalls keep families busy; the night closes with about 1,000 shells across 20 minutes from 20:30. Free parking for some 1,000 cars is spread across the Kasai Health and Welfare Centre, ASTEIA Kasai, Aladdin Stadium and other sites, and the venue is about ten minutes by car from the Chugoku Expressway's Kasai IC. With the fireworks so short, pairing them with the stalls and stages makes an evening of it.
