Spread a leisure sheet on the port wharf, have dinner while waiting for the show to begin

About this spot

Ube Port is an industrial port spreading across the coastal area of Ube City and serves as the launch venue for the fireworks festival. In the evening, the port creates a unique atmosphere with the night landscape of the industrial area and the water surface—a distinctly Ube scenery. As the sun lowers, viewers gather, so this is the time to secure a spot, spread your leisure sheet, and have a leisurely meal with the dinner you brought. The sea breeze from the port is pleasant, and this time before the show begins is part of the enjoyment of the fireworks festival. If food stalls are available, visiting them during this time allows you to avoid the crowds just before the show starts.

Fireworks details

Venue: 宇部市・宇部港内

宇部市花火大会は毎年夏に宇部港内を会場として開催される、宇部市の夏を代表するイベントです。港の水面に映る花火の光は、陸上での花火大会とはひと味違う奥行きを感じさせます。2026年は7月25日(土)の20時から20時30分までの30分間、夜空に花火が打ち上がります。潮の香りと波音が響く宇部港で、色とりどりの光が夜空を染める瞬間は、宇部の夏ならではの特別な光景です。フィナーレに向けて加速する連発が港全体を照らすとき、この1日のクライマックスを家族全員で感じることができます。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は宇部市の公式発表で確認してください。終了後は会場周辺道路と駐車場出口が大変混み合います。花火終了後はすぐに移動しようとせず、少し時間をおいてから帰路につくと混雑を緩和できます。帰りの足元が暗い場所もあるため、スマートフォンのライトで安全に行動しましょう。

Traffic restrictions may be in place around the venue on the day of the fireworks festival.
