Over 10,000 fireworks bloom in the autumn night sky—45 magnificent minutes

About this spot

The Numata Fireworks Festival, launched from 7:00 PM to 7:45 PM on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at Numata Municipal Athletic Park. With over 10,000 fireworks, it rivals the top-tier autumn fireworks displays in northern Kanto. The transparent autumn sky of September makes the colors and light of the fireworks stand out more distinctly than in summer. The topography of Numata, surrounded by mountains of the Tone River basin, amplifies sound, allowing you to enjoy the powerful resonance of the launch explosions. As the display accelerates toward the finale, the entire sky becomes filled with light in an impressive 45-minute spectacle. Recline on your leisure sheet, gaze up at the night sky, and fully enjoy a special autumn night in Gunma with your whole family.
