Sanriku-Ofunato Summer Festival Fireworks Festival

Summer has arrived! A competition between the maritime Tanabata fleet and fireworks.
The Sanriku - Ofunato Summer Festival in the 7th year of Reiwa will be held on 8/1 (Friday) and 8/2 (Saturday). The first day features a maritime Tanabata bay parade, and on the second day, various events including citizens' street dancing and fireworks festival are planned. This year, as a memorial for the large-scale forest fire restoration in Ofunato City, the fireworks will start at 19:30 from offshore boats in Ofunato Bay, kicking off with a star mine.
