"The Shining City of Tsuruga"
A night unfolding against the backdrop of the scenic Kehi no Matsubara pine grove and swimming beach. Vibrant lanterns float across the sea surface to the rhythm of sutra chanting, creating an ethereal space. This year, themed "Shining City Tsuruga," approximately 10,000 fireworks will light up the sky. Programs commemorating the 1st anniversary of the Hokuriku Shinkansen opening and the Osaka-Kansai Expo will project messages of peace and Tsuruga's symbols across the night sky, painting Tsuruga's bright future with fireworks.
