71st Kamakura Fireworks Festival
A fireworks-by-the-beach festival near Tokyo. One of the first events kicking off fireworks season Nerd Nite is “the Discovery Channel with beer”, a worldwide monthly event series that mixes presentations, performances, trivia, demos, music, and of course drinking. Check out the extensive permanent collection at the Museum of Western Art in Ueno Park for free. Works include paintings from the late Medieval period through to the 20th century and modern French sculpture. Ready for hanabi, but don’t want to wait a few more weeks for Tokyo’s fireworks season to begin? Head to Yokohama for the Sparkling Twilight two-day event. Festivities start in the early afternoon with parades and food stalls, but come 7:30pm and the Yokohama skyline will light up with 3,000 fireworks. Celebrate the sea at a park in the center of the city (yep, it’s in Yoyogi). There will be music, markets and food—hopefully accompanied by an ocean-like breeze. See mikoshi (portable shrines) paraded both on land and in the sea—a rowdy kinda summer festival! A two-day music festival featuring a slew of electro DJ headliners, including Knife Party, Yellow Claw and Nicky Romero along with Jay Hardway, Bassjackers and Vinai. Enjoy art, sample healthy vegan food, try fine organic wine and experience finger yoga (and then tell us about it) at this event at Gallery Jiyugaoka. This festival is quite a sight—honoring the spirits of the dead with 30,000 lanterns lining the walkway up to Yasukuni Shrine. Craft beer festival with free entry (unlike some other beer festivals in Tokyo). There will be a selection of international and domestic beer with glasses starting at ¥300 a pop. Filled with shrines, temples, and natural wonders, there may be no better place for a break! Look forward to Halloween parties, Edo-era festivals, fireworks & more! The capital puts on quite a show — don't miss it! Tokyo events for Monday, September 25 to Sunday, October 1, 2023. Where to see the city skyline — and sunsets. Your guide to what's hot and happening in Tokyo. Sumo, autumn flowers, festivals with floats, Tokyo Game Show, and more.
