Local gourmet food and festival stalls for pre-fireworks dining

About this spot

On the day of the Minazuki Matsuri fireworks festival, food stalls and vendors line the Yura River riverbed around the venue, with the festive atmosphere reaching its peak from early evening onward. Enjoy classic carnival fare like yakisoba (grilled noodles), fried chicken, and shaved ice while taking dinner on your leisure sheet spread out at your viewing spot. The early evening stretch along the riverside before the fireworks begin is a special time to soak in the festival atmosphere. The joy of children browsing the stalls becomes a cherished memory unique to a fireworks festival. This is also a good time to check the locations of restrooms and make other preparations for the night ahead.

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。

Tips

Most stall food vendors accept cash only, so bring plenty of small change. Given the crowds, it's best to secure your food at least an hour before the fireworks start. Bring or purchase extra drinks. Be sure to manage your own trash and prepare to take it with you.

Best time to visit

Allow approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. The festive energy at twilight is when it's most enjoyable.
