Ryukyu Kaiensai (琉球海炎祭) – Japan's earliest large-scale beachside fireworks festival, held at Ginowan Tropical Beach with ~10,000 fireworks choreographed to live music celebrating Okinawan sea culture. The original CSV name 'Okinawa Kaijyou Festival' appears to be a romanisation/translation of 海炎祭 (kaiensai = sea-fire festival).
