About this spot

The Suzaka City Summer Evening Fireworks Festival features approximately 2,000 fireworks launched from Momomo River Riverside Park (百々川緑地公園) to illuminate the summer night sky. In 2026, the festival runs from 7:45 PM to 8:30 PM on Sunday, July 19. The open riverside greenspace venue allows unobstructed close viewing of the grand bursts. The clear mountain night sky of Shinshu makes the fireworks' colors particularly vivid—something special to Suzaka. The sound of the fireworks echoing off the mountains creates a powerful resonance you'll feel in your body, a unique thrill of this venue. Together as a family, enjoy this cherished summer tradition lovingly preserved by the local community.

Tips

In case of bad weather, the festival may be cancelled or postponed, so be sure to check the official Suzaka City announcement for confirmation of whether it will be held that day. After the festival ends, the road back to Nagano Railway Suzaka Station becomes congested. After enjoying the finale in the park, disperse gradually for smoother traffic. The path will be dark on the return, so use a light.
