Flow of the course

About this spot

Held on Saturday, August 1, 2026, at Aoki Village General Athletics Grounds (青木村総合グラウンド), this is the Shinshu Aoki Village Summer Festival & Grand Fireworks Display (信州青木村夏まつり・大花火大会). It runs for a long stretch from 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM — the first half is a lively summer festival with stalls and events, and once dusk falls, fireworks color the night sky. With few obstructions to the view thanks to the mountain-surrounded grounds, families can relax and enjoy both the festival and the fireworks together. It makes for a summer night spent in the warm, community-rooted atmosphere unique to a mountain village.

Tips

In case of severe weather, the schedule may be changed or the event cancelled, so check Aoki Village's official announcement on the day to confirm whether it will be held. Temperatures can drop in the mountains at night, so don't forget something to layer on. The area around the parking lot gets crowded after it ends, so allow plenty of time when leaving.

Best time to visit

Time it for the event hours of 4:30–8:30 PM. The hours after sunset are the main time for watching the fireworks.
