Taking place on the Minna no Harappa field within Shōwa Kinen Park, this festival introduces a modern tech-focused celebration to the Tachikawa summer calendar. The event runs nightly from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, featuring a centerpiece 'star sky' show with 500 drones—the same fleet used at the Osaka-Kansai Expo. These drone performances are scheduled twice nightly and are followed by a musical fireworks finale around 8:30 PM.

In addition to the main aerial displays, the festival offers interactive elements such as a paid LED-lantern experience and a dedicated area for handheld fireworks. For this event, visitors must use the Nishi-Tachikawa Gate for both entry and exit, which is located a few minutes from the JR Ōme Line. Admission requires a ticket, with various tiers available for adults and children, including specific add-ons for the lantern and handheld firework activities.
