Sumida River Fireworks Festival 2011

One of the biggest fireworks events in Japan, the Sumida River Fireworks Festival is an yearly event that takes place usually in late July, but this year, it was postponed till 27 Aug 2011 because of the earthquake. Our friend stayed near the Sumida River, so she invited us to join her family for a picnic by the riverside while watching the fireworks.


We never imagined so many people turning up for the fireworks... at this portion of the Sumida River, an hour before the fireworks started, the place was already filling up. It got even more crowded as time passed.

We had a great time, watching the fireworks while eating the food and drinking beer and chatting away. The kids had a great time too!
