Secure a spot early and enjoy food stall cuisine while taking in river views at dusk
About this spot
The Omono River (雄物川) riverbank, stage for the Omagari Fireworks, features quiet countryside scenery during the day but becomes crowded with spectators from early on festival day. By around 4 PM, move to the riverbed, spread out a leisure sheet, and secure a good viewing spot. Enjoy dinner from food stalls or light refreshments you've brought while savoring the autumn evening breeze crossing the river and the changing colors of the sky. As dusk falls, temperatures drop rapidly, so don it warm clothing early. The sight of the Omono River bathed in sunset colors is an enjoyment unique to this pre-fireworks hour.

2026年10月3日(土)18:00〜19:30開催の「大曲の花火 秋の章 花火芸術祭」です。日本三大花火大会として知られる大曲の花火が誇る技術と芸術性を、秋の涼やかな夜空の下で堪能できる特別な大会です。約8,000発の花火が雄物川の上空に打ち上げられ、川面に映る光の帯とともに秋の田園風景を幻想的に照らし出します。花火競技大会とは異なる「芸術祭」のコンセプトのもと、大型スターマインや大玉が音楽とともに次々と開く演出は、観る者を花火の世界に引き込む圧倒的な体験です。90分間のプログラムはフィナーレへ向けて大輪が重なり合い、秋の夜空が光で満たされる瞬間でクライマックスを迎えます。
Tips
荒天・強風時は中止または延期になる場合があるため、当日の開催可否は大仙市・大曲商工会議所の公式発表で必ず確認してください。終了後はJR大曲駅方面へ大勢の来場者が一斉に移動するため、混雑が落ち着くまで河畔で少し余韻を楽しんでから帰路につくのがおすすめです。10月の夜は気温が5〜10℃前後まで下がることもあるため、防寒対策は万全に。

Approximately 15 to 20 minutes' walk from Omagari Station (大曲駅). On festival day, free and paid viewing seat areas are established, so check the official website in advance for viewing area regulations. Temporary restrooms are set up around the venue, but they're crowded before the show starts. It's reassuring to purchase beverages early.
Best time to visit
Approximately 2 hours required. The changing colors of the river and sky around sunset represent this time's greatest appeal.
