Located on a small hill overlooking the Tamba countryside, the views from around the facility are also spectacular. Building on the daytime star-sky experience, you'll deepen your anticipation for tonight's Ayabe night sky where the fireworks will take place.

Fireworks details

Name: あやべ水無月まつり花火大会

Date & time: 7/25 (Sat) 20:00–20:40

Venue: 綾部市・由良川河川敷(川糸町周辺)

Shells: approx. 4,000

2026年7月25日(土)20時00分打ち上げ開始、綾部市の夏の風物詩「あやべ水無月まつり花火大会」がクライマックスです。由良川の河川敷から打ち上がる約4,000発は、丹波の山々に音が響き渡り、川面に映る光が揺れる絶景を生み出します。広い河川敷から見上げる花火は遮るものがなく、空全体に広がるような開放感が魅力。20時40分のフィナーレまで約40分間、夏の夜空を彩る光の饗宴を家族みんなで堪能してください。都市部の大規模花火とはまた異なる、清流と里山に抱かれた花火大会ならではの情緒があります。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は綾部市の公式発表で事前に確認してください。終了後は会場周辺の道路と綾部駅方面への帰路が大変混雑します。花火終了後は少し時間をおいてから移動するか、駐車場から出るまでの待機時間も見込んでおきましょう。足元が暗くなるため小さなライトがあると安全に帰れます。
