Suwa Lake fireworks festivals and competitions

Overview

The 78th Suwa Lake Festival Fireworks Display was held on August 15 in Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture. The 90-minute event, which features water-surface star mines, was established in 1949 to support post-war reconstruction.

Following this festival, Suwa Lake is set to host the ‘National New Fireworks Challenge Cup’ every Saturday from September 5 through October 31. To improve accessibility for the competition, the executive committee announced a new initiative providing ‘priority consideration parking’ and dedicated lakeshore viewing areas. These accommodations are intended for the elderly, families with children, and people with disabilities. Reservations for these services open on August 24.
