Gesture & etiquette
Casual enthusiasm is perfectly appropriate here — smile and use rising intonation on 「行かない?」. This is a social invitation between friends, so warmth and excitement are welcome and expected.
Summer fireworks festivals (花火大会) are among Japan's most beloved seasonal events. Wearing a yukata (summer kimono) is a cultural tradition especially among young people. Key etiquette: arrive early for a good spot, bring a mat and insect repellent, and expect massive crowds near train stations after the show.
