The City of Matsudo in Chiba Prefecture has started selling paid seating tickets for the 'Matsudo Fireworks Festival 2026' to be held on Saturday, August 1.
This year, the event will feature a grand launch of 12,000 fireworks, which is 2,000 more than last year.
▼ The launch site is right in front of you! Experience the powerful fireworks from the viewing seats!
The biggest feature of the Matsudo Fireworks Festival is the overwhelming impact of the 'No. 5 shells,' among the largest launched in the neighboring municipalities, right in front of the viewing area. Because the fireworks are launched on the Matsudo side rather than the opposite bank of the Edogawa River, you can enjoy them from an incredibly close distance.
In addition, kitchen cars serving food and drinks will line up inside the venue to liven up the festival. Why not enjoy the spectacular Matsudo Fireworks Festival in paid seats this summer?
