Flow of the course

About this spot

Held on Saturday, August 29, 2026, this is the fireworks display of the Nishiwaki Summer Festival, staged at Nihon-no-Heso Park — known as the center of Japan. About 3,000 fireworks are packed into a 30-minute window, launching into the night sky above the park from 7:50 p.m. to 8:20 p.m. Watching the fireworks while recalling the experiences at the museum and science museum you visited during the day makes for a fitting close to a special family day. The open park also offers the appeal of unobstructed views.
