The light show takes place from 19:00 to 19:20. On June 25, the theme is rock music, while on June 26, it's pop music. The dazzling and dynamic fire performance uses the hot air balloon’s massive flamethrower to ignite the night sky, accompanied by laser beams and synchronized musical performances creating a moving concerto. Five anime characters also make an appearance, engaging in a light-based battle with the balloons. Those wishing to watch are advised to arrive early. The event site also features a PLAY BALL inflatable zone, with live music performances starting at 14:00. Guests can enjoy the sunset and secure better viewing spots.
