About this spot

As evening approaches, people gradually gather at Shiroyama Park for fireworks viewing. Spread out leisure sheets and gather around a homemade bento or snacks procured nearby, waiting for dusk at leisure. Located near the central shopping district of Motegi, characteristic of a castle town, you can enjoy the bustle of the Gion Festival, a unique pleasure of this time.

Fireworks details

Name: 祇園祭ふるさと茂木夏まつり

Date & time: 7/25 (Sat) 19:30–20:30 ※荒天時7/26 (Sun)に順延

Venue: 芳賀郡茂木町中心市街地(城山公園)

Shells: approx. 5,000

祇園祭とともに受け継がれてきた、茂木町の夏を代表する祭りの花火大会です。茂木城跡の城山公園を会場に、約5,000発の花火が夜空を彩ります。城下町らしい町並みを見渡す高台からの花火は、地域の歴史と夏祭りの熱気が重なる特別な光景です。荒天の場合は翌7月26日(日)に順延されるため、天候にあわせて予定を立てやすいのも安心なポイントです。

Tips

荒天時は7/26(日)に順延される場合があるため、当日の開催可否は茂木町の公式発表で確認しましょう。終了後は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。
