2026 Maebashi Fireworks Display: A Full-Day Course
This one-day course centers on the Maebashi Fireworks Display (前橋花火大会), held on August 8, 2026 (Saturday), and lets you enjoy Maebashi (前橋), the capital of Gunma Prefecture, to the fullest, starting from midday. In the afternoon, enjoy history and greenery at Maebashi Park (前橋公園) and Rinkokaku (臨江閣), and spend time delighting the kids at Runa Park (るなぱあく). In the evening, fill up on food around Maebashi Station, then head to the banks of the Tone River (利根川) to secure a spot at the riverside green space north and south of Owatashi Bridge (大渡橋). Enjoy at your leisure the impact of about 15,000 shells blooming widely in the night sky, one of the largest scales in northern Kanto (北関東). This is the definitive summer plan for Maebashi, woven from the cool night breeze along the river and the light of the fireworks.
