Omagari Fireworks -Spring Chapter-" will be held again this year! The "New Fireworks Collection" by young and talented pyrotechnicians from all over Japan and special programs by overseas pyrotechnicians will be presented. In addition to the schedule, highlights, and viewing information, we will explain in detail the differences from the widely known National Fireworks Competition, commonly known as "Omagari no Hanabi.

Omagari Fireworks

Omagari is known as a town of fireworks.
In particular, the National Fireworks Competition, commonly known as "Omagari-no-Hanabi," held every August, is one of the three largest fireworks festivals in Japan, boasting a history of over 100 years and widely known as a summer tradition in the Tohoku region.
In addition to the summer competition, Omagari holds unique fireworks shows in spring and fall.
The "Spring" program was originally called "Fireworks of the World and Fireworks of Japan," and from 2023, the "New Fireworks Collection" held in the "Winter" program will be upgraded to include both "Fireworks of the World and Fireworks of Japan," making it a more spectacular event. The "Autumn Chapter" was a new annual theme.
In the "Autumn Chapter," the theme changes every year, and local pyrotechnicians entertain the audience with the "Fireworks Art Festival," a fireworks display that is presented as a show.
In this way, each season, spring, summer, and fall, has its own unique fireworks display.

What is the highlight of the "Spring Chapter"?

Unlike the summer competition, the "Spring Chapter: New Fireworks Collection" will select 18 up-and-coming young pyrotechnicians with excellent ideas to compete in two categories: the "Cored and Cracked Fireworks" category for traditional Japanese perfection and the "New Fireworks" category for high creativity, which will be the forerunner of the fireworks trend for that year. The competition will be held in two categories.
This year's competition will also feature a collaboration between Japanese fireworks and ARTEVENTIA, a French fireworks company, as well as fireworks by the winner of each category of the 97th National Fireworks Competition!
All spectator seats at the venue are charged, and in addition to chair seats and table seats, photographer seats are also available.
Every year, a new fireworks display will entertain us!
