A fireworks festival worthy of the long pyrotechnics history of Mikawa!

The vast expanse of Okazaki Park is home to this summer festival. Ranging from "Yosakoi" to "Gomangoku" dances, portable mikoshi shrines and so on give a full-on experience of traditional Okazaki culture during the festival period.

Okazaki Castle Summer Festival

In the middle of the festival, a grand fireworks display sees a wide range of fireworks launched into the sky. Star mines (a type of firework characterized by thunderous booming explosions), melody star mines (choreographed in perfect sync to the music), the so-called "goldfish fireworks" which unfold and seem to swim through the sky, not to mention the silver waterfall and the blazing chariot amongst many others create a wonderful show.
Other attractions include dances, processions, shows and much more!
