The 30th Akagawa Fireworks Festival will be held over the past four years in Tsuruoka City.

Selected as one of the 50 best fireworks displays in Japan! A magnificent fireworks display that Tsuruoka City is proud of!

The Akagawa Fireworks Festival is filled with the wishes of the committee members.

The Akagawa Fireworks Festival has been a summer tradition in Tsuruoka City, and the committee members wanted to bring back the fireworks of the Akagawa River, which had once been cut off! The Akagawa Fireworks Festival was held in 1991 for the first time in 27 years, thanks to the efforts of the committee members and many other people. Today, it is a magnificent fireworks display with approximately 12,000 fireworks, and has been selected as one of the 50 best fireworks displays in Japan.

The 30th anniversary of the event was scheduled to be held in 2020, but due to the Corona disaster, the event was canceled for the first time in its 30-year history.... We had to change the contents and reduce the scale of the fireworks display, but this year we are back with a bang! The 30th Aka River Fireworks Festival will be held. It has been over 4 years!

Date: Saturday, August 19, 2023 *No postponement in case of stormy weather
Location: Akagawa riverside (Mikawabashi to Haguro Bridge), Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture

*The application for the area where you can watch the fireworks for free as the event support seats has been closed by lottery. All areas of the venue will be reserved seating, so those without tickets on the day will not be allowed to enter the venue.
We are looking forward to seeing what special fireworks will be launched this year♪
The point of the fireworks display is the charm of the Aka River fireworks! The special program for this year only will be "moving fireworks that fuse with music" and will be launched together with the pyrotechnicians who have been involved in the past. The music starmine, with a maximum launch width of 700 meters, by selected pyrotechnicians is a spectacular sight!

The realistic fireworks will spread all over the night sky of Tsuruoka!
