Within the vast expanse of Leomare Resort, you will experience a unique spectacle where the intense energy of traditional Japanese festivals merges with the modern beauty of a high-scale fireworks display.
"Basara" refers to a unique traditional culture and spirit deeply rooted in the history and local identity of Marugame City.

By collaborating with Leomare Resort, a major leisure facility, the spirit of the traditional festival is elevated into a high-quality entertainment experience accessible to a wide audience.
The primary highlight is the fireworks show scheduled for August 29, 2026. Starting at 20:00 (8:00 PM), massive 2-go scale fireworks will fill the night sky.

The chance to witness the transformation of a familiar leisure landscape into an extraordinary, otherworldly spectacle is a major draw for visitors.
This event takes place during the peak of summer in August. The most critical time to be present is after 20:00 on August 29, as the darkness of the night maximizes the brilliance and impact of the fireworks.
