About the Takeda-no-Sato Nirasaki Fireworks Festival
The festival carries on the traditions of Nirasaki City, known as the birthplace of the Kai Takeda clan.
Before the fireworks begin, the venue hosts a solemn fire-lighting ceremony, a lantern procession forming a fantastical line of lights, and a memorial service for fallen Takeda warriors.
Food stalls begin operating from 15:30, filling the venue with a festive atmosphere.
The main fireworks program features large-scale star mines filling the night sky and draws many visitors every year.
