Arrive at the Venue Early, Spread Out Your Leisure Sheet in the Sea Breeze, and Wait for the Show to Begin
About this spot
Echizen Fishing Port Plaza (Hamahirugas Park), adjacent to Echizen Fishing Port, is the main venue for tonight's Echizen Minato Grand Fireworks. Arriving at the venue in the evening, spreading out your leisure sheet, and waiting for the show to begin while feeling the sea breeze blowing in from the Sea of Japan offers a luxurious moment unique to seaside fireworks displays. As the sun sets, the fishing port's sky transitions from orange to deep indigo, and your anticipation for the fireworks naturally builds. Food stalls often set up around the venue, so it's recommended to lightly secure some evening food and enjoy it while waiting. Be sure to identify the location of restrooms early.
Fireworks details
Name: 越前みなと大花火
Date & time: 7/18 (Sat) Time TBA
Venue: 越前町・越前漁港広場（はまひるがお公園）
Shells: approx. 13,000
越前漁港広場(はまひるがお公園)を会場に繰り広げられる越前みなと大花火は、約13,000発の花火が日本海の夜空を彩る越前町夏の一大イベントです。目の前に広がる日本海をバックに打ち上がる花火は遮るものがなく、スターマインやワイドスターマインが夜空いっぱいに開く様子は迫力満点。波音が花火の轟音に重なり、潮の香りの中で見上げる花火は、都市部の花火大会とはまったく異なる海辺ならではの体験です。フィナーレの連続打ち上げが漁港の夜空を埋め尽くす瞬間は、この1日最大のクライマックスです。
Tips
開催日は2026年7月18日(土)で時間は公式発表をご確認ください。荒天時の開催可否は越前町の公式発表で確認を。終了後は周辺道路や駐車場が大変混雑するため、花火終了後しばらく会場でゆっくりしてから移動するのがおすすめです。帰りの足元が暗くなるので、スマートフォンのライト機能を活用してください。
Tips
Parking lots around the venue tend to fill up early on the fireworks festival day. Arriving about 1 to 2 hours before opening makes it easier to secure a good viewing spot. The peak crowd for food stalls is right before the show starts, so it's wise to secure your meal early with ample time. Keep in mind the return traffic and check your parking-lot exit route in advance.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes required. The color changes of the Sea of Japan at dusk are the premium seating of this time period.
