Watch Approximately 14,000 Fireworks, the Hokuriku Region's Most Spectacular Display, from the Hino River Banks

About this spot

The Echizen City Summer Festival Fireworks Festival is a premier summer fireworks display held every August 15 at Hino River Riverside Green Space Park representing the Hokuriku region. Boasting an overwhelming approximately 14,000 fireworks, successive starmines and large shells paint the night sky of the Hino River with grandeur. Utilizing the river width for horizontal displays and fireworks that burst near the water's surface create breathtaking scenes, drawing cheers from children and adults alike. As the finale approaches, the pace of launches increases, and the moment when the river, mountains, and sky are entirely enveloped in light marks the festival's greatest spectacle. On an August 15th evening, this becomes an unforgettable summer night for families gathered together.
