2026 Takasaki Matsuri Grand Fireworks Display: A Full-Day Course
This one-day course centers on the Takasaki Matsuri Grand Fireworks Display (高崎まつり大花火大会), held on August 23, 2026 (Sunday), and lets you enjoy the city of Takasaki in Gunma Prefecture (群馬県高崎市) to the fullest, starting from midday. In the afternoon, visit classic spots around Takasaki (高崎市), and in the evening, secure a spot and grab a meal along the Karasu River (烏川). Once night falls, enjoy up close a powerful fireworks display of about 15,000 shells, one of the largest counts in northern Kanto, filling the sky from the riverbank upstream of Wada Bridge (和田橋). This is the definitive summer plan for Takasaki (高崎): spread out a leisure sheet on the wide riverbank along the river and look up at the summer night sky together as a family.
