About Yonezawa Dai Hanabi Taikai
- Enjoy one of Yonezawa's largest fireworks displays, famous for its dynamic displays synchronized with music.
- The theme-based setlist is a key feature; we recommend checking the song list in advance to fully enjoy the storytelling.
- Since viewing takes place at a riverbed, please prepare a leisure sheet (picnic mat), drinks, and insect repellent.
- As this is an outdoor night event, prepare for the summer heat during the evening and bring clothing suitable for a slight drop in temperature.
