Stroll through the riverside green areas and preview tonight's fireworks venue atmosphere during daytime
About this spot
The Asaka River flows through Sanyo-Onoda City and serves as the venue for tonight's fireworks festival. Along the riverbank, green spaces and walking paths have been developed, making it perfect for leisurely exploration while enjoying the shade. Previewing the venue's terrain and viewing spots during daytime will make securing a spot much smoother when night falls. Walking while viewing the river's flow will allow you to imagine beforehand how beautifully the fireworks will reflect on the water's surface at night. The summer riverside offers cool shade, making it a wonderful place for children to take a refreshing break.
Fireworks details

Date & time: 7/28 (Tue) 20:00–20:30
Venue: 山陽小野田市・厚狭川河畔

2026年7月28日(火)20時、厚狭夏まつり花火大会が開幕します。山陽小野田市の厚狭川河畔から打ち上がる約1,500発は、川面に光を映しながら夏の夜空を次々と彩ります。水辺ならではの開放感の中で見る花火は、音の響き方も格別で、打ち上げのたびに川面がきらめきます。コンパクトな時間(約30分)の中に見ごたえのある花火が凝縮され、地元の夏まつりの温かなにぎわいとともに楽しめるのがこの大会の魅力です。フィナーレの連発が夜空を明るく照らす瞬間は、この1日のクライマックスです。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は山陽小野田市の公式発表を事前に確認しましょう。終了直後はJR厚狭駅へ向かう人が集中するため、フィナーレ後はその場で少し余韻を楽しんでから移動すると混雑を分散できます。帰りの道は暗いため、スマホのライトや小さなライトがあると安心です。
