How we checked
Last checked October 17, 2026 against omagari-hanabi.com. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.
Notes from the last check
The official site confirms the 98th National Fireworks Competition was held on 29 August 2026 and that the event is still running as an annual competition, but no 2027 dates were found on fetched official pages, so the series is recorded as recurring with a last-Saturday-of-August rule quoted only from a tourism-association page.
