The Tottori Hanabi Taikai is among the most anticipated summer events in Tottori Prefecture, typically held on the banks of the Sendai River near the city centre in late July. Several thousand fireworks are launched in a programme that mixes classical starmine sequences with music-synchronised displays. Spectators fill both riverbanks and nearby parks for unobstructed views of the wide, open sky above the river. The event pairs well with a visit to the nearby Tottori Sand Dunes the following morning.
