Fireworks details

Date & time: 8/2 (Sun)・3 (Mon) 19:20–21:25

長岡まつり大花火大会は、1945年の長岡空襲の慰霊と復興を願って始まった日本有数の花火大会です。2026年8月2日(日)・3日(月)の2日間、19時20分から21時25分にかけて、信濃川の長生橋下流両岸から打ち上げが行われます。最大の呼び物は直径約650mの光球を描く正三尺玉で、その轟音は体全体で感じる迫力です。復興祈願のシンボル「フェニックス花火」は、川幅いっぱいに広がる巨大な鳳凰の形が夜空に舞い上がり、川面を朱色に染める瞬間が圧巻。スターマインや尺玉の連発も含め、2日間合計約20,000発が越後の夜空を彩ります。
Tips
荒天による中止・順延の情報は長岡市の公式サイトおよびSNSで当日朝から確認を。終了後は長岡駅周辺と帰路のバス・列車が極度の混雑になるため、21時25分のフィナーレ後は河川敷で30分ほど余韻を楽しんでから動き出す時間差帰宅がおすすめ。上越新幹線の指定席は事前に確保しておきましょう。
