2026年8月1日(土)開催、音更町商工会が主催する納涼花火大会です。会場の新通エリアで約1,000発の花火が夜空に次々と打ち上がります。十勝平野ならではの広く開けた夜空に、地域の人たちの手作りの温かさが感じられる花火が咲きます。規模は大きすぎず、観覧客との距離も近いため、間近で花火の迫力を感じられるのが魅力です。

Tips

荒天時は中止または順延の場合があるため、当日は主催者の発表を確認しましょう。夜は気温が下がりやすいので羽織ものを忘れずに。終了後は周辺道路が混み合うため、少し余韻を楽しんでからの移動がおすすめです。

Tips

About 10 minutes by car from Otofuke town center. During mid-August holidays, tourist crowds can build up, so arriving early around midday is recommended. Bringing a cooler bag for souvenirs is helpful.
