Secure a spot by the river, enjoy street food for dinner while waiting for the show to begin
About this spot
The Omokawa riverside area below Kankobashi Bridge (観晃橋下流思川河畔), which serves as the venue for the Oyama Summer Festival, is an open and expansive viewing spot with wide riverbanks. Secure your spot early in the evening, purchase street food, and settle down on your leisure sheet. In early October, the evening air becomes cool, and a light jacket is pleasant to have. Sitting on the riverbank while watching the gradually darkening sky and the flow of the Omokawa River provides a leisurely sense of happiness unique to fireworks festivals. Street vendor stalls tend to get crowded before the finale, so it's wise to purchase early.

Date & time: 10/3 (Sat) Time TBA
Venue: 小山市・観晃橋下流思川河畔

おやまサマーフェスティバル（小山の花火）は、栃木県小山市の思川河畔を会場に開催される、約20,000発を誇る北関東有数の大花火大会です。広い河川敷から打ち上げられる花火は遮るものがなく、夜空の高いところまで大輪が開く迫力は格別。秋の澄んだ空気の中で見上げる花火は、夏の大会とは異なる凛とした美しさがあります。川面に映る光の帯と、体に響く花火の音が一体となる河畔観覧ならではの体験は、1日の締めくくりにふさわしいクライマックスです。家族でこの瞬間を共有した記憶は、きっと長く心に残るでしょう。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は大会公式発表や小山市の情報で確認してください。終了後は会場周辺の道路と駐車場が大変混雑します。フィナーレ後は河畔でしばらく余韻を楽しんでから移動する時間差帰宅がおすすめです。小山駅への帰りは臨時バスや徒歩ルートを事前に確認しておきましょう。足元が暗い場所があるため、ライトを忘れずに。
Tips
Parking lots around the venue fill up early. From Oyama Station, walking or using a temporary shuttle bus is convenient. Temporary restrooms will be set up, but they may have long lines, so check their locations as soon as you arrive at the venue. In addition to leisure sheets, a foldable cushion will make sitting comfortably for extended periods easier.
Best time to visit
Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes required. Enjoy the riverside scenery and the bustle of the street vendors leisurely around sunset and dusk.
