With a history dating back to 1958, the Towada City Summer Fireworks Festival is a fixture on the Aomori events calendar in mid-August each year. 

The city is known as an arts and culture hub, and alongside the 2,000 or so fireworks to be launched, the festival will also include a wide array of food booths and street artworks for visitors to explore.
