The Katakakai Festival Dedication Fireworks Festival is held in Katakakai-cho, Ojiya City, Niigata Prefecture, and has a 200-year-old tradition, the birthplace of the sanshaku fireworks. The highlight of the festival is the world's largest sanshaku fireworks, which are breathtaking in their scale. In addition, traditional fireworks events such as "drag" (pulling wooden cylinders containing sanshaku fireworks) and "sending tama" (sending fireworks) are held, and the whole town will be immersed in fireworks. 
The fireworks show held over two consecutive days is mainly 100 cm in size. The atmosphere is lively and people can enjoy a variety of fireworks such as continuous fireworks and stage fireworks that can only be seen here. There is a small hill behind the fireworks launch site, which reflects the sound of the fireworks like a folding screen, allowing visitors to enjoy the spectacular sight of the fireworks blooming.
