Dinner at the Riverbank and Securing a Viewing Spot Before the Fireworks
About this spot
The Chikuma River riverbank that flows through Saku City is the venue for tonight's fireworks festival. As evening approaches, spectators gather on the riverbank one after another, spreading out leisure sheets to wait for the show to begin. Given the large-scale fireworks festival that takes advantage of the wide river width, early action is recommended to secure a good spot. Be sure to have dinner at food stalls or nearby restaurants beforehand.

2026年8月15日(土)開催、信州佐久の夏を代表する花火大会です。千曲川河川敷(佐久橋・野沢橋間)から約4,000発の花火が打ち上がり、広い川幅を活かした大迫力のスターマインが夜空いっぱいに広がります。周囲を山に囲まれた盆地ならではの音の響きも見どころのひとつ。1日たっぷり佐久の歴史と自然を巡った締めくくりにふさわしい、迫力満点のフィナーレです。
Tips
荒天時は中止や順延の可能性があるため、当日の開催可否は佐久市の公式発表で確認を。終了後は周辺道路と佐久平駅が大変混雑するため、時間差での移動がおすすめです。夜は冷えることがあるので羽織ものを忘れずに。
Tips
About 15 minutes by car from Sakuhira Station plaza. On the evening of the fireworks festival, surrounding roads become heavily congested. Arrange meals early. It's reassuring to confirm the location of restrooms while it's still light.
Best time to visit
Takes approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. Around sunset is when the riverbank becomes most crowded.
