2,026 Fireworks Bloom in the Night Sky Above the Numata River - Summer Festival Climax

About this spot

The Numata Hongo Summer Festival Fireworks Display is a summer tradition held at the right bank of the Numata River below Hongo Bridge in Hongo-cho, Mihara City. In 2026, from 8:15 PM to 8:45 PM for 30 minutes, 2,026 fireworks burst into the night sky. The light of the fireworks reflected on the river's surface creates depth and beauty different from fireworks seen on land. From the viewing area extending along the river, you can look up at the fireworks directly ahead, and the pleasant sound of the river and summer night breeze add to the charm of the location. The light and sound program condensed into a compact 30 minutes combines the warmth and impact unique to a community summer festival.

Tips

In case of bad weather, always confirm whether the display will proceed on the official announcement from Mihara City or the event organizers. After the display ends, surrounding roads and parking lot exits become congested, so if you're driving, enjoy the afterglow at the venue for a while before moving. The riverbank has limited lighting on the way back, so use your smartphone light or a small flashlight and watch your footing carefully.

Best time to visit

8:15 PM to 8:45 PM during the display time. Be seated 15 to 20 minutes before the start.
