About this spot

Held at 19:25 on Saturday, August 1, 2026, this is the annual fireworks festival that closes out Soka City's summer. About 4,000 fireworks color the night sky one after another, and from the park's spacious grounds, you can enjoy powerful fireworks with little to obstruct the view. It's a finale that gets the whole city excited, a fitting close to a day spent at the pine grove and the park during daylight. It's a beloved summer tradition among locals as well.

Tips

In case of severe weather, it may be canceled or postponed, so check the organizer's official announcement on the day. After it ends, the station and surrounding roads become very crowded, so it's recommended to enjoy the afterglow for a bit before heading home to avoid the rush.
