Watch Hokuriku's Largest-Scale Fireworks: Approximately 20,000 Launches Illuminate the Tedori River Night Sky

About this spot

The Hokukoku Grand Fireworks Kawakita Convention, launching at 8:15 PM on Saturday, August 1, 2026, is Hokuriku's largest-scale fireworks festival, with approximately 20,000 fireworks launching from the Tedori River riverbed in Kawakita Town, Nomi County, Ishikawa Prefecture. The vast Tedori River riverbed has few obstructions to the view, allowing you to dynamically enjoy fireworks spreading overhead. The way fireworks' light ripples on the river surface is a beauty unique to riverbed fireworks displays. The rapid-fire power born from the sheer number of launches and the scale of star mines painting the night sky of the Kaga Plain are experiences worthy of representing Hokuriku's summer. Surrounded by river breeze and wave sounds, enjoy this light and sound evening that concludes the summer with your family.

Tips

Check the Hokukoku Newspaper or official festival announcements on the day regarding rain cancellation. After the event, surrounding roads and parking areas become heavily congested. It is recommended to enjoy the lingering impression of the fireworks on the riverbed for a while after the show, then depart after the congestion eases using staggered departure timing. A small flashlight is useful on the dimly lit riverbed.

Best time to visit

Align with the 8:15 PM launch start. Waiting at the viewing location 30 minutes before start ensures peace of mind.
