The Edogawa Fireworks Festival opens with its famous trademark: around a thousand shells fired in the first five seconds, a wall of light that sets the tone for 14,000 more over the Edogawa River. Because the city of Ichikawa holds its own festival simultaneously on the opposite bank, the combined audience approaches 900,000 — yet the long riverbank means the crowd spreads out more than at Sumida.

Planning for 2027

The 2026 edition of Edogawa City Fireworks Festival was held on Sat, Aug 1. It is usually held on the first Saturday of August, which in 2027 would fall on Sat, Aug 7. The organiser sets each year's date itself, so treat that as a planning window and confirm it before you book anything fixed.

The 2027 date has not been published yet. This page is re-checked against the official source and updated as soon as it appears, so it is worth a look again before you book anything non-refundable.

Background

Running since 1976, the festival built its identity around the explosive 5-second opening and themed program blocks, coordinated across both banks with Ichikawa's twin festival.

Getting there

The Tokyo-side venue is the riverbank at Shinozaki Park: 15–25 minutes on foot from Shinozaki Station (Toei Shinjuku Line) or Koiwa Station (JR Sobu Line). The Chiba side is served by Ichikawa and Motoyawata stations.

Tips

Frequently asked questions

How crowded does Edogawa City Fireworks Festival get?
About 900,000 people come to Tokyo for it. Fireworks start at 7:15 PM, so plan to be in place well before that. Trains and roads out of the venue are at their worst in the 30 minutes after the finale — waiting it out is usually faster than joining the crush.
