Turn up the lights for the Sakura Citizens Fireworks Festival in Sakura City, Chiba. This year’s fireworks show will be a dazzling display, but a lot smaller than usual.
Important note: For 2025, the festival will be moved from its usual date in August to October due to building work and will be held on a much smaller scale.
What happens?
The Sakura Citizens Fireworks Festival is usually a massive 20,000 fireworks event. You can expect to see the fireworks light up both the sky and the waters of Lake Inbanuma.

How to get there (and where to watch)
For 2025, the fireworks won’t be at the usual location (Sakura Furusato Square), but instead launched from 10 undisclosed locations around Sakura City. Keep your eyes peeled. To get to Sakura, you can take the Keisei Main Line from Keisei Ueno Station to Keisei-Sakura Station (around 1 hour).
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.Add to Calendar
