48th Sendai Tanabata Fireworks Festival

As you know, Sendai Tanabata Fireworks Festival is the Tanabata Festival for Sendai residents!
During the three days when Sendai Tanabata, one of the three major festivals in Tohoku, is held, the city of Sendai is crowded with tourists, so many people avoid the city.
The Tanabata Fireworks Festival, which is also the eve of the festival, is a place where such people can feel deeply that the season of Tanabata has arrived!
This year's theme is "Ishindenshin - To Sendai (a city full of gentleness and strength that is heartfelt)"
Why not feel the "kindness" and "strength" of caring for the city while watching the 16,000 fireworks!
