Overview

Nakashibetsu, a town in eastern Hokkaido, marks the 70th edition of its summer festival in 2026, and the Daihien Fireworks Display is staged right alongside it. The venue is the South 2-chome Symbol Road, next to the festival grounds, where music fireworks and a giant starmine lead a program of about 1,400 shells from 19:30 to 20:00 on Saturday, August 8. With downtown as the stage, the show puts food stalls and festival crowds in the same frame as the fireworks. The town has no train station: drivers reach it in about 3 hours from the Ashoro IC or 2 hours from the Akan IC on the Doto Expressway, while Nakashibetsu Airport sits only about 5 minutes away by car. Traffic restrictions start at 19:00 around the venue, and no event parking is provided — check local traffic guidance in advance. The festival as a whole draws about 18,500 visitors, so the streets will be packed.
