The Izumi Shokusho-sai fireworks light up the sky over the multi-purpose grounds of Izumi City's general sports park in Kagoshima on July 26, 20:00–20:20, with about 5,000 shells capping a two-day summer festival. Across the festival days, the Honmachi shopping street hosts a parade, group dances and marching bands, while the park grounds fill with a variety show and rows of food stalls. JR Izumi Station is a 20-minute walk, and driving takes about 30 minutes from the Minamata IC on the Minamikyushu-nishimawari road; 500 free spaces are provided. Arrive about an hour before the start — the park lawn fills early — and bring cash for the stalls.
