About this spot

This fireworks display, the climax of the Sayo-cho Nanko Sunflower Festival, takes place around Nanko Sports Park (Wakaayu Land). On Sunday, August 2, 2026, about 600 fireworks launch one after another into the night sky between the mountains. A highlight of this venue, surrounded by mountains, is the powerful, echoing sound of the fireworks. This event has long been cherished as a local summer festival, and the bustle of food stalls adds to the excitement of the night. It's a fitting climax to a summer night, capping off a day of sunflowers and river play.

Tips

In case of bad weather, the event may be canceled or postponed, so check Sayo-cho's official announcements on the day to confirm whether it's held. After it ends, exiting the parking lot gets congested, so it's recommended to enjoy the afterglow for a while before heading home to avoid the rush.
