Spread Picnic Mats, Reserve Spots, and Dine While Waiting for the Show
About this spot
In the evening, the Uono River gradually fills with people preparing for fireworks. Spread your picnic mat and enjoy homemade or locally sourced snacks while watching the sky transition from sunset to night. The open riverbank scenery where two rivers meet is beautiful during this transition.

中越地方の夏を彩る、川口まつり大花火大会です。魚野川と信濃川が合流する開けた河川敷を会場に、約3,000発の花火が夜空に打ち上がります。周囲を山に囲まれた地形のため、花火の音が響き渡る迫力も魅力です。昼間に訪れた河川敷の景色が、夜には花火とともにまったく違う表情を見せてくれます。
Tips
荒天時は中止または延期となる場合があるため、当日の開催可否は長岡市の公式発表で確認しましょう。終了後は駅や周辺道路が混み合うため、少し時間をずらして帰るのがおすすめです。足元が暗くなるので、小さな子ども連れは懐中電灯があると安心です。
