Fireworks details

Name: 道新花火大会（函館港まつり協賛）

Date & time: 8/1 (Sat) 19:45–20:50

Venue: 函館港一帯・緑の島（函館市大町）

道新花火大会（函館港まつり協賛）は、函館港一帯・緑の島を会場に開催される函館の夏を代表する花火大会です。函館湾に面した港から打ち上がる花火は、海の水面に光を映しながら夜空へ大きく広がり、開港の歴史を持つ港町の夏夜を彩ります。緑の島周辺の観覧エリアは港のそばで視界が開け、潮の香りと夜風を感じながら花火を正面から楽しめる好ロケーションです。函館港まつりの熱気とともに、打ち上がるたびに港全体に響く音と光の迫力を、家族みんなで体感してください。20時50分のフィナーレまで、夏の函館の夜を存分に味わいましょう。

Tips

会場となる緑の島・函館港一帯へは、花火開始の30分以上前に到着して観覧場所を確保するのがおすすめです。当日は周辺道路の交通規制や混雑が予想されるため、函館市電やバスなどの公共交通機関を利用してください。終了後は市電・バスが大変混み合うため、フィナーレ後は港で余韻を楽しんでから時間をずらして帰るのがおすすめ。荒天時の開催可否は主催者の公式発表で確認を。

Tips

Approximately 5 minutes on foot from Hakodate City Tram "Jujigai" stop. If luggage increases, consider using coin lockers. The Bay Area gets crowded after evening on fireworks day, so complete your souvenir shopping during this time slot. Dining establishments inside the warehouses may have lines during the evening before the fireworks.
