The "Miyazu Toronagashi Fireworks Festival" will be held in Miyazu City on Wednesday, August 16.

This event started about 400 years ago as a Bon festival festival to pray for the spirits of the dead, and is now one of the three major lantern floating festivals in Japan. After more than 10,000 lanterns are floated into Miyazu Bay surrounding the "Spirit Boat," which is floated from Shinbutsu's house, fireworks in five colors and seven hues and a large starmine burst into the sky. The grand fire festival is Miyazu's largest annual event, and the 2023 festival will be the first in four years, so it is sure to be a great success.
