The Nagaoka Festival Grand Fireworks, held every year on August 2nd and 3rd, is said to have started in 1879 (Meiji 12) when fireworks were set off at the local shrine's autumn festival. The fireworks show was revived in 1947 (Showa 22) after being suspended due to the war. Although Nagaoka was hit by the Niigata Chuetsu Earthquake in 2004 (Heisei 16), the next year saw the birth of the Phoenix, a fireworks display praying for recovery. The fireworks festival carries a special meaning for Nagaoka citizens, expressing prayers for the souls lost in the Nagaoka air raids, gratitude to those who contributed to the city’s recovery, and wishes for lasting peace, reflecting the hardships the city has overcome. Countless fireworks light up the night sky, filling Nagaoka’s night with brilliance—definitely something to look forward to!
