Hanabi, meaning "fireworks" in Japanese, is a traditional summer festival celebrated across Japan. These colorful displays are often set off to mark special occasions, such as the New Year or local festivals. The vibrant explosions light up the night sky, creating a beautiful spectacle enjoyed by families and friends. During hanabi festivals, people gather in parks or along riversides to watch the fireworks. Many attendees wear yukata, a casual summer kimono, and enjoy traditional snacks like yakitori and taiyaki. The events often include music and games, making them a festive atmosphere for all ages.
