Enjoy festival food stalls for dinner and secure viewing spots while watching the sunset

About this spot

Minato-machi Kaihhin Park is a park adjacent to the central coastline, which serves as the launch site for tonight's fireworks display. With lawn areas and walking paths in place, it becomes an ideal spot for a pleasant evening breeze in the early evening. During the Gion Kashiwazaki Festival period, food stalls line the surrounding area, allowing you to enjoy local cuisine while awaiting the show. Slowly finish your dinner while gazing at the sunset over the Sea of Japan, then spread a leisure sheet in a good viewing spot to prepare. This area offers the best location to see the fireworks launching sky and sea head-on.

Fireworks details

Name: ぎおん柏崎まつり 海の大花火大会

Date & time: 7/26 (Sun) 19:30–21:10

Venue: 柏崎市・みなとまち海浜公園一帯(中央海岸)

Shells: approx. 16,000

ぎおん柏崎まつり 海の大花火大会は、約16,000発を日本海の沖合から打ち上げる、全国屈指の規模を誇る花火大会です。開催日は2026年7月26日(日)、19時30分から21時10分まで約1時間40分にわたって繰り広げられます。海上スターマイン、尺玉の連発、大型割物と演目が次々と切り替わり、広大な海面が反射する光と、胸に響く轟音が一体となった圧倒的な迫力はほかでは味わえません。打ち上げ場所が沖合の海上であるため、煙に隠れにくく花火の全形が美しく見えるのも日本海の花火大会ならではの特長です。フィナーレの一斉打ち上げで夜空と海が一面に染まる瞬間は、この1日の記憶に深く刻まれる光景になるでしょう。

Tips

荒天・強風の場合は中止または延期になることがあります。開催可否は大会公式発表や柏崎市の情報を当日朝から確認してください。終了後は周辺道路と公共交通機関が大混雑します。柏崎駅方面への帰宅は終了直後を避け、海浜公園でしばらく余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめです。足元が暗くなるのでスマホのライトを活用しましょう。

Tips

Parking lots around the park fill up early from evening on the day of the fireworks. Using public transportation or walking from a distant parking lot with shuttle bus service is recommended. Food stalls get crowded, so eat early. Restrooms become congested, so use them well before the show starts for peace of mind.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour 50 minutes required. Enjoy the sunset glow and color changes in the sea before and after sunset
