Flow of the course

About this spot

The 'Furusato Omachi Cool Summer Festival Fireworks Display' (「ふるさと大町納涼まつり花火大会」) closes out summer in Omachi Town (大町町), Kishima District (杵島郡), Saga Prefecture (佐賀県). From 18:00 to 21:00 on Thursday, August 13, 2026, about 1,100 fireworks launch from the Omachi Town Athletic Field (大町町民グラウンド, inside Botayama Wanpaku Park (ボタ山わんぱく公園)). Fireworks blooming in the night sky against Botayama (ボタ山), a hill that tells the town's coal-mining history, make for a scene unique to this town, and a summer tradition locals have cherished for years. Falling during the Obon season, this nighttime display is also a special occasion for families who've returned home to watch together. The moment the finale's rapid-fire bursts paint the night sky is a fitting climax to close out the day.

Tips

The event may be canceled or postponed in bad weather, so check Omachi Town's official announcement on the day. Roads around the venue get congested after it ends, so rather than rushing off, it's reassuring to spend a while longer in the stall area before moving. If taking JR Omachi Station (JR大町駅), check the return train times in advance. Some areas are dark underfoot, so a small light comes in handy.

Best time to visit

Plan around the event hours of 18:00-21:00. Check your viewing spot and the restrooms before the start
