Launched from Nagoya Port each July, this fireworks festival is one of the largest in the Tokai region, with around 10,000 shells illuminating the harbour sky. The sea surface mirrors each burst, creating a double-vision effect beloved by photographers. The adjacent Nagoya Port Aquarium and Ferris wheel provide a distinctive urban waterfront backdrop. Food stalls, live performances, and family-friendly activities surround the main viewing zones.
