Secure a Viewing Spot on the Riverbed, Await the Show While Enjoying Tokachi's Twilight
About this spot
The Tokachigawa riverbed, venue for the Katsushiba Fireworks Festival, is a vast field where you can directly experience the majestic scale of the Tokachi Plain. Arrive early in the evening, spread out your leisure sheet, and slowly enjoy Tokachi's sunset as the sky's colors shift with the setting sun. Tokachi Plain's characteristically expansive sky makes sunset particularly beautiful, creating a picturesque scene even before the fireworks begin. With time before the show starts, use this window to confirm restroom locations and review information boards for peace of mind.

勝毎花火大会は、北海道を代表する大規模花火大会のひとつです。2026年8月13日(木)19時20分から21時にかけて、十勝川河川敷特設会場から約20,000発が打ち上げられます。十勝平野の広大な空を舞台に繰り広げられる花火は、都市部の花火大会とはひと味違う開放感と迫力があり、川面に映る光の揺らめきも見応え十分です。音楽と花火が連動するミュージックスターマインや大型スターマインなど演出も多彩で、1時間40分にわたるプログラムはフィナーレまで飽きさせません。十勝の夜空いっぱいに開く大輪を、北海道の夏の夜風とともに堪能してください。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は勝毎花火大会公式の発表を必ず確認してください。終了後は帯広駅方面への道が大変混み合うため、フィナーレ後しばらく河川敷で余韻を楽しんでから時間差で移動するのがおすすめです。足元が暗いので小型ライトを用意し、お子さんとはぐれないよう注意しましょう。
