Fireworks details
Name: 遠野納涼花火まつり
Date & time: 8/15 (Sat) Time TBA
Venue: 早瀬川河川敷
2026年8月15日(土)開催、民話の里・遠野の夏を締めくくる花火大会です。早瀬川の川面を舞台に花火が打ち上がり、周囲を囲む里山に音が反響して独特の情緒を生み出します。昼間訪れたカッパ淵や物語の館で触れた伝説を思い出しながら見上げる花火は、他の街とはひと味違う物語性を感じさせてくれます。遠野の人々に愛されてきた、夏の夜を彩る特別な催しです。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は大会公式の発表で確認しましょう。山間部の夜は冷え込むことがあるので羽織ものを。終了後は駐車場までの道が混み合うため、余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめです。
Tips
About 10 minutes by car from Kappa-fuchi. It gets crowded from evening onward, so strolling at this time is recommended.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour. You can leisurely walk through the shopping streets during the calm afternoon hours.
