Secure a spot on the floodplain and have dinner while waiting for the show to begin, as you enjoy the river breeze
About this spot
The Hirose River floodplain where the Sendai Tanabata Fireworks Festival is launched. As evening approaches, food stalls begin to line up, and families set up leisure sheets to reserve spots. Procuring Sendai specialties like gyutan from food stalls and enjoying them for dinner is one of the pleasures of a summer festival. The river breeze is refreshing, and as you enjoy how the sunset-colored sky and river surface change color, wait for the fireworks to begin. As the sun sets and night descends on the riverbank, the anticipation throughout the entire venue rises all at once.

Tips
荒天時の開催可否は仙台市や大会公式の発表で当日確認してください。終了後は仙台駅・地下鉄各駅への帰路に観覧客が集中します。フィナーレ後は河川敷でしばらく余韻を楽しんでから、時間差での帰宅が混雑緩和につながります。足元が暗い場所があるため、小さなライトやスマホの懐中電灯機能を活用して安全に移動してください。

Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
On the fireworks festival day, there are traffic restrictions around the floodplain, so confirm the restriction details in advance through official announcements. Food stalls and surrounding convenience stores become crowded early, so procure food and drinks ahead of time. Temporary toilets are set up, but lines form, so it's reassuring to use them early. After the event, crowds concentrate heading to Sendai Station and nearby subway stations, so depart with plenty of time to spare.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes required. The time when the river surface sunset transitions into fireworks and the sky's colors shift is extraordinary.
