Venue: 由利本荘市・道川漁港海上

2026年7月18日(土)19時30分開催、日本海の海上から打ち上がる花火大会です。道川漁港の沖合から打ち上げられる約1,500発は、遮るものがない海上ならではの開放感の中で大きく夜空に広がります。波の音に重なるように響く打ち上げ音と、海面に映る花火の光が漁港の情景と溶け合う光景は、海辺の花火大会ならではの迫力と情趣があります。鳥海山を擁する自然豊かな由利本荘の夏夜に咲く1,500発は、数以上の存在感で夜空を彩ります。フィナーレの連発が海と空を染める瞬間は、この1日のクライマックスです。

Tips

In the center of Yurihonjo City, near Hongo Castle Ruins (Koyoshi Park). Shared spaces offering free admission are well-equipped. On the day of the fireworks festival, from late afternoon onward, the entire city becomes crowded, so taking time to rest and prepare during this period will make the evening proceed smoothly. Dorokawa Fishing Port is about 20 minutes by car heading south on National Route 7.
