Teganuma Fireworks Festival Canceled this summer.Security cannot be secured at the Olympics.
More than 10,000 fireworks have been launched at Teganuma in Chiba Prefecture, and the fireworks festival, which was crowded with nearly 400,000 people, has been canceled. The reason for the sponsorship of Kashiwa City and others is that it is not possible to secure sufficient security because it coincides with the period of the Tokyo Olympics.
The Teganuma Fireworks Festival is organized by the executive committees of Kashiwa City and Abiko City, and is held in August every year, with almost 400,000 people.
Since this coincides with the Tokyo Olympics, the Executive Committee has been discussing with security companies, but it was decided that human resources would be devoted to the Olympics and that sufficient security could not be secured.
In addition, Kashiwa City has decided to cancel the Kashiwa Festival, which is held every July.
"I'm sorry to cancel, but I want to take a positive look at increasing the momentum for the Olympics," said Takashi Kitamura, director of the Kashiwa City Commerce and Industry Promotion Division.
According to the summary of "Chiba Promotion Council" made by tourist associations in Chiba Prefecture, out of 77 sightseeing events that are held every year, nine events other than these two events are holding the Olympic and Paralympic Games Means that we are considering canceling or changing the schedule.
