Two have become one for this year’s fireworks festival in Gifu.
What happens?
What was once two festivals (Nagara River Chunichi Fireworks Festival and Nagaragawa National Fireworks Festival) held one week apart have — perhaps sensibly — joined forces to become the Gifu Nagara River Fireworks Festival.
