Venue: 佐渡市両津地区(両津港周辺)

佐渡島の玄関口である両津地区で開かれる両津七夕・川開きは、2026年8月8日(土)の開催です。両津港周辺の通りには色とりどりの七夕飾りが飾られ、夜になると港の夜空に花火が打ち上がります。フェリーが行き交う港町ならではの開放的な雰囲気の中、地元の人々や観光客が一緒になって夏の夜を楽しむ、佐渡らしいあたたかい祭りです。日中に加茂湖やトキの森公園で触れた島の自然の余韻を残しながら、夜は港を彩る花火と七夕飾りを家族で満喫しましょう。

Tips

会場周辺は交通規制がかかることがあるため、公共交通機関や徒歩でのアクセスがおすすめです。港沿いは夜風が強く感じられることがあるため、羽織るものがあると安心です。フェリーの発着時間と重なる場合があるため、周辺の混雑にも注意しましょう。
