Each year in Autumn, like hundreds of cities around Japan, Satte City have a ‘citizen festival’. The Satte Citizen Festival is on for one day annually. It used to be in November, but since 2023 it is in October. The highlights of the festival this year, include a small fireworks display, an Anpanman show and for the opening they will release balloons into the sky.
Satte Citizen Festival 2026
The Satte Citizen Festival is held in Gongendo Number two park. The Number Two park, which they have also named ‘Happy Park’, was the last to open of the four parks that make up “Gongendo Park”. Which just to confuse the issue more got a name change this year. It is now called Sakura Mirai Park #2 Park. It is located close to the number four park, which is also known as Gongendo Sakura Zutsumi. That is the flower park, known for its daffodils in winter, cherry blossoms in spring, hydrangea in summer and spider lilies in September. Also, it is has a great playground.
The one day citizen festival is officially on from 10 am to 5.30 pm. The festival starts with dozens of balloons released into the sky and culminates with fireworks launched into the sky from 5.30 pm. They haven’t disclosed how many fireworks they will launch. In addition, there is a flea market, food trucks, a road train, a work vehicle corner, Anpanman shows and other live performances. They will release the balloons after the opening ceremony, which starts at 10 am. (The feature photo at the top of the post is just an image of balloons in the sky and not from this festival).
