2026年6月3日(水)19時50分開演、京都市伏見区の京都競馬場を舞台に繰り広げられる京都芸術花火です。打上数は約13,500発にのぼり、音楽と完全にシンクロした演出で花火が次々と夜空に咲き誇ります。芸術花火の名のとおり、色と形と音楽が一体となったショーは単なる打ち上げ花火を超えた体験で、大人も子供も息をのむ60分間です。フィナーレの連発が競馬場の広い空を埋め尽くす瞬間は、この1日の全ての時間が報われるクライマックス。伏見の夜空に刻まれる、特別な記憶になることでしょう。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は大会公式サイトの発表を当日確認してください。終了後は淀駅・周辺バス停が大変混雑します。フィナーレ後は会場でしばらく余韻を楽しんでから移動する時間差帰宅がおすすめです。帰りの電車・バスの時刻は事前に確認しておきましょう。足元が暗いエリアもあるため、スマートフォンのライトを活用してください。

Tips

The nearest station is Yodo Station on the Keihan Line or Kintetsu Kyoto Line, about a 5-minute walk away. We strongly recommend checking the official event website in advance for entry procedures and whether paid viewing seats are available. The venue and surrounding areas begin to get congested before the show, so plan to arrive around 7 PM (19:00) or earlier for a comfortable entry.
