Venue: いわき市・いわき駅前平商店街
いわき駅前の平商店街を舞台に、2026年8月6日(木)から8日(土)まで朝10時から夜21時まで開かれる七夕まつりです。商店街のアーケードには大きな七夕飾りが飾りつけられ、通りを歩くだけでも夏らしい華やかな雰囲気を味わえます。屋台や露店も並び、日中から夜まで長い時間ゆったりと楽しめるのが特徴です。日が暮れて明かりが灯ると、飾りの色合いがより一層引き立ち、いわきの夏を象徴する風景が広がります。
Tips
会場内の屋台で昼食・夕食を済ませられるので、朝は身軽に行動できます。駐車場は周辺の商業施設と兼用になることが多いため、公共交通機関の利用も便利です。夕方以降は人出が増えるため、ベビーカーは移動しやすい時間帯を選ぶと安心です。
