ARTEVENTIA presents Rise the Stars — Closing Show of the Omagari Festival Spring Chapter 2026
ARTEVENTIA has been invited to participate in the spring chapter of the prestigious Omagari Hanabi fireworks festival, one of the most renowned events in the world of pyrotechnics, held annually in the city of Daisen, Akita Prefecture (Japan).
The festival’s Spring Chapter — taking place on April 25, 2026 — showcases the creations of young Japanese talents as well as international master pyrotechnicians invited to present their works as part of this artistic competition.
For this edition, ARTEVENTIA has been selected to write and produce the closing show entitled Rise the Stars, an original creation conceived as a visual tribute to the essence of pyrotechnic art and the emergence of creative talents from around the world.
An Iconic Festival of Pyrotechnic Art
The Omagari Hanabi festival is considered one of the most important events on the global fireworks calendar. Organized for over a century in Akita Prefecture, it brings together leading pyrotechnic artisans each year and attracts a massive audience who come to admire creations of great aesthetic refinement.
The Spring Chapter, in particular, is recognized for its ability to blend the Japanese tradition of hanabi (fireworks) with contemporary innovations from creators around the world.
The creation “Rise the Stars – constellations of light” created by ARTEVENTIA for the closing of the Spring Chapter, is part of this tradition of excellence while bringing a strong and contemporary artistic signature.
Rise the Stars – Constellations of Light
Since the dawn of time, humanity has gazed at the stars and drawn inspiration from their brilliance.
Today, pyrotechnicians create new ones, shaped by fire, precision, and passion.
These constellations of light transform the sky into a living work of art, where each explosion becomes an ephemeral star.
This finale celebrates the meeting of celestial beauty and human artistry, giving birth to a firmament of light, vibrant with emotion and grandeur.
Driven by the creative vision of Édouard Grégoire, this work explores themes of light, celestial trajectories, and universal movement — elements that naturally dialogue with the Japanese night sky and the poetic spirit of hanabi. It addresses both local audiences and international pyrotechnic enthusiasts, offering an engaging and emotional visual experience.
Recognition of International Expertise
Being invited to present a creation for Omagari Hanabi is in itself a mark of international recognition: the festival is an institution of pyrotechnic art in Japan, which values innovation, creativity, and technical mastery through highly choreographed shows of the highest level.
ARTEVENTIA’s presence in this prestigious program confirms the artistic commitment of the company and its ability to engage with historical fireworks traditions while bringing a contemporary perspective.
