355th Chikugo-gawa Fireworks Festival Rescheduled

If you missed out on this year’s Ohori Fireworks Festival, here’s your chance to see another an even bigger fireworks display in Kyushu. The 355th Chikugo-gawa Fireworks Festival did not go ahead yesterday (8/5) due to bad weather and is now rescheduled for tomorrow 8/7 (Thu.) 19:40~21:10. With origins in 1650, it’s one of the best known and largest fireworks display in Western Japan and serves as the finale to the Mizuno Saiten Kurume Matsuri. 18,000 fireworks are launched in parallel from two positions (Sasayama & Kyomachi), illuminating both the Chikugo River and sky. Get there early to spread out a blanket along the riverside and relax. Remember to check the official website for weather updates – the festival may be further postponed in case of bad weather.
