Fireworks details
Name: うらがわらまつり ゆめ花火
Date & time: 8/1 (Sat) Time TBA
Venue: 上越市・浦川原区
うらがわらまつりのクライマックス、「ゆめ花火」と名づけられた花火大会です。2026年8月1日(土)、山々に囲まれた浦川原区の夜空に花火が次々と打ち上がります。都会の花火大会とは違う、里山ならではの静かで温かい雰囲気の中で見上げる花火は格別です。地元で長く親しまれてきた夏祭りの締めくくりとして、多くの家族連れでにぎわいます。
Tips
荒天時は中止・順延になる場合があるため、当日は上越市や主催団体の発表で開催可否を確認しましょう。山あいの夜は涼しくなるため、羽織ものを忘れずに。終了後は帰りの道が混み合うため、時間差での移動がおすすめです。
Tips
About 10 minutes by car from Kenshoji Temple. The riverside has sections with uneven ground, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
Best time to visit
About 1 hour required. As evening approaches, a cool breeze blows, making it easier to walk.
