Summary
On August 8, 2026, the 70th Maebashi Fireworks Festival lights up the Tone River green spaces at Odori Bridge in Maebashi City, Gunma. From 19:10 to 20:10, 15,000 shells made by the city's own fireworks studios — prized for their vivid colors — fill the sky, alongside music-synced star mines. Paid seats are advance-purchase only, and with no free parking at the venue, the bus from JR Maebashi Station is the practical way in.
Overview
The Maebashi Fireworks Festival takes place along the Tone River on Saturday, August 8, 2026, from 19:10 to 20:10 — a compact one-hour show of some 15,000 shells. Shells made by Maebashi's own fireworks studios are known for their careful color work, and the program includes star mines fired in time with music. Because the riverside venue has no free parking, arriving by public transport is simplest: take the Kan-Etsu Kotsu bus from JR Maebashi Station toward Shibukawa for about 12 minutes, get off at Gun Daibyoin Iriguchi, and walk 10 minutes. Paid viewing seats are sold in advance — check the official website for details. Food stalls line the venue, so carrying some cash makes dinner easy.
