About this spot
A traditional festival held on Sunday, August 16, 2026, starting at 7:15 PM, counting its 64th year. From Ani River Park, as fireworks light up the night sky, lanterns quietly drift down the river surface simultaneously, creating a fantastical scene woven by light and sound. This is a special night where you can enjoy both fireworks and lantern floats simultaneously, an experience only possible in such a quiet mountain valley environment. Bid farewell slowly to the lights floating on the river surface, savoring the final moments.

After the event, mountain roads become congested, so enjoying the lingering atmosphere before heading home is recommended. The ground is dark, so having a smartphone light or flashlight is reassuring.
