[Nagaoka Festival Grand Fireworks Display]
It is one of Japan's three major fireworks festivals, along with Omagari and Tsuchiura. It is held annually on August 2nd and 3rd in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. Approximately 20,000 fireworks are launched over two days on the banks of the Shinano River, and the large-scale displays, such as the "Phoenix" which is launched over a length of 2 km, the "Niagara" which cascades down from two bridges, and the "Sanshaku-dama", which boasts the largest size, are breathtaking. The "Phoenix" is launched in the hope of recovery from the Niigata Chuetsu Earthquake that struck the area in 2004. It is a fireworks festival full of emotion and power that captivates many spectators.
