Green park outing with a small zoo and amusement park for family time
About this spot
Despite being near Kiryu's city center, this lush park houses a free-admission small zoo and a classic amusement park. Observe animals like elephants and lions up close; most rides are affordable, making it popular with families with young children. It's a perfect spot to burn energy before the festival and take a refreshing break.
Season & hours
Name: 桐生八木節まつり
Date & time: 8/7 (Fri)–8/9 (Sun) Time TBA

群馬県を代表する民謡「八木節」の唄と太鼓が本町通り一帯に鳴り響く、桐生の夏を彩る一大イベントです。2026年は8月7日から9日までの3日間開催され、初日から通りは歩行者天国となって多くの人で賑わいます。軽快なリズムに合わせて浴衣姿の踊り手たちが次々と踊りの輪をつくり、沿道の観客も自然と手拍子を打ちたくなる盛り上がりです。夜が更けるにつれて明かりに照らされた通りの熱気は高まり、桐生の夏らしい活気に満ちた夜を過ごせます。
Tips
屋台の出店情報は確認できていないため、夕食は桐生市場など事前に済ませておくと安心です。通り沿いは大変混雑するため、ベビーカー連れは端に寄って観覧するのがおすすめ。荒天時の開催可否は桐生市の公式情報を確認しましょう。
Tips
Zoo admission is free, but amusement park rides charge individually. Make use of shaded rest areas for hydration during summer.
