Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture - Plat Yonezawa Co., Ltd. (Yonezawa City, Representative Director: Hirotoshi Miyajima) is participating in the [Yonezawa Sengoku Fireworks Festival Committee (Committee Chair: Isao Endo)], which has decided to hold the "3rd Yonezawa Sengoku Fireworks Festival" on October 10, 2026 (Saturday) at Yonezawa City General Park. This festival began in 2024 when young economic organizations in Yonezawa City united with the aim of inheriting the region's history and charm, revitalizing the local economy, and fostering a sense of regional pride and creating memories for the children who will lead the next generation.

General sales begin July 1, 2026 (Wed) at 12:00 PM.

The official website for the 3rd Yonezawa Sengoku Fireworks Festival can be found "here".

Delivering a Sengoku entertainment experience unlike any seen before, from the region to the world.

An entertainment show unique to this location, combining "flame effects" x "fireworks" x "Sengoku"!

A fireworks festival themed around the "Sengoku" period. This event will create a new perspective for the world with its "flame effects" x "fireworks" x "Sengoku entertainment," setting it apart from conventional regional fireworks festivals.

Using the region's proud history, the "Battle of Keicho Dewa," which was a major turning point in the end of the Sengoku period, as its theme, this one-hour non-stop sensory experience will recreate the scenery from 426 years ago through a fireworks display, in a way that is only possible in a regional area like Yonezawa! We want you to witness the victory cheers.
