Naniwa Yodogawa Fireworks Festival Overview

Rain policy: Held in rainy weather, canceled in stormy weather
Venue: [Venue name] Yodogawa riverbed from downstream of the Shin-Midosuji Yodogawa Railway Bridge to National Route 2
Finally
If you’re using paid viewing seats, it gets extremely crowded during the organized exit on the way home. I think it can take 20 to 30 minutes just to get out of the riverbed area.
That means children may be at risk of heatstroke, so please prepare things like a neck fan, and make sure to get drinks before heading home.
Personally, I got one of those cold neck coolers you wear around your neck (it might already be sold out)! I recommend it.
