Secure Your Viewing Spot at the Wharf and Wait for the Show While Savoring the Night Air of Seto Inland Sea
About this spot
Sakaide Port Central Wharf, which serves as the main venue for the Sakaide Ohashi Matsuri Marine Fireworks Festival, is a wide wharf facing the Seto Inland Sea. With the fireworks launch positions spreading out right before your eyes and the silhouette of the Seto Ohashi Bridge visible in the distance, it's an ideal vantage point. As the sun sets, the sea breeze becomes pleasantly cool, and you can savor the nighttime atmosphere of the port even before the show begins. Secure a spot early and spread out light snacks and drinks for a leisurely wait. If food stalls are available, it's best to grab items before the crowd builds.
Fireworks details
Name: さかいで大橋まつり海上花火大会
Date & time: 8/11 (Tue, hol.) 20:00–20:30
Venue: 坂出市・坂出港中央埠頭
Shells: approx. 4,000
さかいで大橋まつり海上花火大会は、坂出港の海上から打ち上げられる約4,000発の花火が瀬戸内の夜空を彩る、地域を代表する夏の一大イベントです。海上からの打ち上げならではの開放感ある視界の中で、大輪の花火が次々と開く迫力は圧巻です。穏やかな瀬戸内の海面に映り込む花火の光と、潮の香りを運ぶ夜風が合わさって、ほかでは味わえない特別な花火体験を生み出します。フィナーレに向けて連続して打ち上がる花火が港と海を丸ごと照らす瞬間が、この夜最大のクライマックスです。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は坂出市または大会公式の発表で事前に確認を。終了後は会場周辺の道路が混雑するため、すぐに移動せず埠頭で少し時間をおいてから帰路につくと混雑を緩和できます。坂出駅への帰りはタクシー待ちが長くなる場合があるため、徒歩ルートを事前に確認しておきましょう。
Tips
From Sakaide Station, approximately 5 minutes by taxi or 15-20 minutes on foot. Road access around the venue may be subject to traffic restrictions from evening onward on the day of the fireworks festival, so public transportation or walking is recommended. Use restrooms early. After the show ends, plan your exit timing considering post-event congestion for a smoother departure.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes required. Arriving more than an hour before the show starts makes it easier to secure a good viewing location.
