Secure your spot on the riverbed, enjoying dinner while feeling the river breeze and awaiting the opening
About this spot
The upstream area of Oita River Benten Bridge is the fireworks launch venue. The grassland areas on the riverbed and along the embankment are classic viewing spots where leisure sheets begin to spread starting in the evening. As the sun dips lower, the breeze crossing the river surface becomes pleasant, and the wait time with views of the sunset and river landscape carries the charm characteristic of Oita's summer. Secure dinner from the food stall area and enjoy it leisurely on your leisure sheet while awaiting the opening. This time before the main fireworks event is precious downtime for the family to spend together.
Fireworks details
Name: おおいた「夢」花火
Date & time: 8/29 (Sat) 19:30–20:30
Venue: 大分市・大分川弁天大橋上流
Shells: approx. 8,000
2026年8月29日(土)19時30分、大分川弁天大橋上流の夜空に約8,000発の花火が打ち上がります。川の両岸から見渡せる広い河川敷が会場で、川面に映る逆さ花火と夜空の大輪が重なる景色は大分ならではの美しさです。スターマインや大玉がリズムよく連続し、フィナーレの連発は大分の夜空を一気に染め上げます。川風が心地よい夜の大分川で、家族みんなで見上げる60分間は、夏の終わりを飾るにふさわしいひとときです。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は大会公式の発表で確認を。終了後は大分駅方面の道が大変混み合うため、フィナーレ後は川畔でしばらく余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめ。足元が暗くなるのでスマホのライトや小型ライトがあると帰路に安心です。
