Tesshi Nayoro Festival Grand Fireworks Display

Summary

The Teshi Nayoro Festival's grand fireworks rise over the Teshio River in Nayoro City, Hokkaido, on July 26, 2026 — a 30-minute display from 19:40 on the riverbank below Akebono Bridge. The shell count is unannounced, but 11,000 visitors are expected, and Hokkaido's long summer days leave dusk light in the sky at launch time — a signature of this northern festival.

Overview

The Teshi Nayoro Festival colors the northern summer, and its grand fireworks display goes up from the riverbank below Akebono Bridge on the Teshio River between 19:40 and 20:10 on July 26, 2026. Though the shell count is unpublished, shells rise into a wide sky along the river, easy to follow even from a distance. At launch time the sky still holds daylight, so the colors shift from dusk into true night across the half hour — the event's particular charm. A taxi from JR Nayoro Station takes about 5 minutes; drivers come roughly 40 minutes from Shibetsu Kenbuchi IC on the Doo Expressway, where a temporary free lot of about 200 spaces is planned. With limited capacity, arrive early or consider public transport.
