Secure Your Spot Along the Riverside Near the Venue, Wait for the Show While Enjoying the Mountain Dusk
About this spot
Riverside area in the Nakaho District of Oono City, which will host the Oono Castle Festival Grand Fireworks Display. Surrounded by mountains, the Echizen Oono basin shows a beautiful moment as the mountain edges turn crimson at dusk and the river surface quietly reflects the colors. Secure your viewing spot early, spread out a leisure sheet, and enjoy dinner from food stalls and refreshments you've brought while waiting leisurely for the show to begin. The very change in light as the mountains become wrapped in the evening darkness heightens the anticipation for the fireworks.
Fireworks details
Name: おおの城まつり大花火大会
Date & time: 8/13 (Thu) Time TBA
Venue: 大野市・中保
Shells: approx. 3,000
おおの城まつりのクライマックスを飾る大花火大会で、大野市中保の会場から約3,000発が打ち上がります。越前大野は四方を山に囲まれた盆地のため、花火の音が山々にこだまして体の芯まで響く迫力は格別です。夜空に大きく開く尺玉や、連続して広がるスターマインが盆地の空を埋め尽くし、夏の越前大野の夜を一夜限りの光で染め上げます。城まつりの祭り囃子や地域の熱気とともに楽しむ花火は、都市部の大会とはひと味違う、山里の夏祭りならではの温かさがあります。
Tips
開催時間は大会公式の発表を必ず事前に確認してください。荒天時の開催可否も公式発表に従いましょう。終了後は会場周辺の道路が混雑するため、終演後はすぐに移動せずしばらく余韻を楽しんでから帰路につくと混雑を避けやすいです。JR越美北線の帰りの便は本数が少ないため、時刻表の確認を忘れずに。足元が暗いのでスマホのライトを活用してください。

Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
On the day of the fireworks festival, the area around the venue becomes crowded and parking lots fill up early. If using public transportation, use the JR Echimi-Hokusen Line and be sure to confirm the time of the last train home in advance. Insects tend to appear along the riverside in the evening, so don't forget insect repellent spray. Food stall availability varies; refer to past festival records.
