Forget your basic fireworks—this one looks like a giant strawberry exploding in the sky. It’s so cute you’ll want to eat it (don’t). The show starts around 7:50 p.m. on both nights.
🎤 Live Performances & Local Talent
Saturday brings Eisa drummers, comedy by “Propane 7,” and a live set from PUSHIM. Sunday keeps the beat going with hula dancing, traditional Ryukyu performances, and a final concert by PUSHIM with Quartet.
