The 27th Fukuoka Higashi-ku Fireworks Festival 2017

Fukuoka, the largest city in Kyushu, Japan, will be hosting the 27th Fukuoka Higashi-ku Fireworks on September 10. Hosted by the Fukuoka Higashi-ku Fireworks Executive Committee, there will be around 7,000 fantastic fireworks illuminating the night sky at Mishima Green Bay Walk.

The costs of the festival paid for with donations made by ordinary citizens, corporate sponsorships, and proceeds from the sales of festival products. It is a citizen-initiated festival, which is a rarity even in Japan.
