Fireworks details

Name: 相模原納涼花火大会

Date & time: 9/5 (Sat) 19:00–20:15

Venue: 相模原市中央区・相模川高田橋上流

Shells: approx. 8,000

相模原納涼花火大会は、相模川高田橋上流を会場に開催される相模原市の夏を締めくくる花火大会です。約8,000発のスターマインや大玉が広い川幅を利用して次々と打ち上げられ、対岸の丘まで含めた広大な空間が次々と彩られます。相模川の水面に映る花火の反射が美しく、川沿いならではの開放的な眺めが魅力。9月初旬の涼しくなりはじめた夜風の中で見る花火は、夏の終わりの感慨をひとしお深めてくれます。75分間のプログラムを川岸でゆっくり楽しみましょう。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は相模原市の公式発表で確認してください。終了後は周辺道路と最寄り駅が大変混雑します。フィナーレ後はすぐに移動せず、河川敷でしばらく余韻を楽しんでから帰るのが混雑を避けるコツ。帰りの夜道は足元が暗い箇所があるので小さなライトがあると安心です。

Tips

A few minutes' walk from Sagami Railway Kamimizo Station (相模線・上溝駅). On the day of the fireworks festival, congestion increases from late afternoon onward, so it's recommended to finish shopping by 3:00-4:00 PM. It's about 10-15 minutes on foot from the shopping street to the Takada Bridge riverbed at the venue.
