Watch roughly 10,000 fireworks light up the night sky at one of the biggest fireworks festivals in the world.
What happens?
While the event is technically reserved for members of the Church of Perfect Liberty, the spectacular display can be viewed from Tondabayashi City and nearby municipalities. It draws 30,000–40,000 people annually, and has been running since 1953. The finale is hotly anticipated, featuring a massive star mine and synchronized explosions.

The fireworks go off on August 1 each year.
