Akagawa Fireworks

The Akagawa Fireworks are held on the banks of the Akagawa River in the city of Tsuruoka in Yamagata Prefecture. Since this is billed as a national fireworks design competition, highly skilled pyrotechnics masters compete by launching a wide variety of their works. The major attraction of these displays is the spacious venue, 700 meters wide, along the banks of the Akagawa River, where competitors launch their fireworks one right after another, treating spectators to the awe-inspiring sight of a sky nearly covered with blazing displays of light.
