Information for the Owada Park Fireworks in 2023.
In summer 2023 there will be four different firework displays in Saitama City. These ones in Owada park have not been on since before the pandemic began.
Owada Park Fireworks
These fireworks are held on the same date every year, July 30th, regardless of what day of the week it is. If there is bad weather on the 30th they are postponed until the following day; July 31st. The fireworks are launched around 7.30 pm, but people arrive early to secure a good viewing location. They haven’t specified the number yet for 2023, but usually they launch about 5,000 fireworks. Displays include starmines and rapid succession type fireworks.
Owada Park is located right next to Omiya Second Park. Judging by photos on the official website, you can see the fireworks clearly from Miharashi Park as well. They have a photo of the fireworks behind the windmill of the park:
