Haga Town Roman Fireworks 2026 × HAGA Glumination Fest 2026

Summary

Fireworks in December, paired with an illumination festival: on December 6, Haga's Romon fireworks and the HAGA Grumination fest merge into one evening around the roadside station and town hall. Shells mirror on the Goko River while light displays wrap the town - food trucks and workshops fill the gaps. Getting there is half the novelty: about 40 minutes on the LRT Light Line from Utsunomiya Station, then a short free shuttle bus.

Overview

The Grumination fest is Haga's winter fixture, a light event started by local merchants and among the oldest of its kind in eastern Tochigi. The 2026 merger with the fireworks suggests a layered evening: the classic moves - watching shells from Romannoyu's open-air baths or the beer garden - alongside stages, food trucks and workshops by the town hall. Access runs from JR Utsunomiya Station via the LRT toward the Haga-Takanezawa Industrial Park (about 40 minutes), then a roughly 10-minute free shuttle from the transit center; drivers need about 40 minutes from the Utsunomiya-Kaminokawa IC, with 900 free spaces prepared. December nights here are seriously cold, Paid-seat and official bus-tour details are posted on the event site each autumn. Arrive by mid-afternoon to wander the fair stalls before settling on a riverside spot, and book something warm to eat afterward.
