The "Minato Maizuru Chat Festival", which has been held every July since 1976, has been changed to an event specializing in fireworks from this year after being canceled due to the new coronavirus. Traditionally, the fireworks were set off in the east district every year, but now they alternate between the east and west.

For about 40 minutes from the start time of 8:00 pm, large fireworks were launched one after another, coloring the midsummer night sky and captivating the citizens who looked up. There were also stalls set up around the venue and in the nearby Hiranoya shopping arcade, which was bustling with people.

At the Maizuru Rowing Center (Hama, Maizuru City) in the east district, the "Chatta Regatta" citizens' rowing competition was held for the first time in six years at the Chatta Festival, and both the east and west districts were excited for the day.
