The Takasaki Festival is the most famous fireworks display held in Gunma.
This very famous event is usually held in August (Saturday, August 23 in 2025).
Fireworks will be launched on the first day.
The famous presentation of about 15,000 fireworks in just less than an hour is the highlight of the festival, and many cheers can be heard.

The sight of colorful fireworks blooming to fill the night sky is breathtaking.
In particular, the very large "Starmine "launched at the end of the festival is a must-see.

During the festival, "Takasaki Dashi Matsuri (Takasaki Float Festival) "will also be held at the same time.
The sight of various types of floats and citizens parading in a procession along the streets is quite a sight to behold.
The heat of the venue blends in with the summer heat, adding to the festive atmosphere.
The "Awa Odori" (Awa Dance), a traditional performing art of Tokushima Prefecture, will also be performed, making the festival a great spectacle.
If you have time, please enjoy this one as well.
