The 74th Ome City Nohryo Fireworks Festival would typically feature more than 4,000 fireworks hurled into the night sky over Nagayama Park in Ome City in the evening of the first Saturday in August.

As of 2022 though, organizers are not ready to return to the normal style of events. As a result, the fireworks will take place at a closed venue — the Meisei University Ome Campus in the hills above the city. Organizers ask that Ome residents watch the fireworks from home. The fireworks should be visible from the former Nagayama Park venue though.
The festivities will begin at 7:30pm and conclude at a slightly earlier than usual 8:15pm. If the weather is too stormy it will be postponed until the following day.
How to get there
Though spectators are not allowed, the closest station is Ome Station on the JR Ome Line. To get there, take a Chuo Line train from Shinjuku Station and change to the Ome Line at Tachikawa.
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, many events have been canceled. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
