The (桑名水郷花火大会) is a traditional summer event held along the Ibi River in Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture. Established in 1934 to celebrate the completion of the Ise Bridge, it has grown into one of Japan's most spectacular displays.

The show was famous for launching 17 "Ni-shaku" shells (approx. 20-inch diameter). These shells burst into massive "fire flowers" nearly 500 meters wide , making them among the largest in Central Japan.

Launched from a sandbank in the middle of the Ibi River, the fireworks reflect beautifully off the water, earning Kuwana its nickname, the "City of Waterways". Festival Experience
