Summary

As the finale of the Nitta Festival in Ota, Gunma, about 4,000 shells go up over 30 minutes from 19:00 on Saturday, August 8, 2026 at the Nitta Track-and-Field Stadium. The festival opens with a children's mikoshi parade at 17:00 and features performances by local junior high concert bands. The short, concentrated 30-minute format is the signature here. The venue is about 15 minutes by car from the Kita-Kanto Expressway Ota-Yabuzuka IC, with 600 free temporary parking spaces.

Overview

The Nitta Festival brings a strongly local program to Ota City each summer — children's mikoshi, school band music and street stalls. The fireworks close the day from 19:00, sending some 4,000 shells over the stadium in half an hour, a compact format that suits families with young children. The venue is about 15 minutes by car from the Ota-Yabuzuka IC. Temporary free parking covers 600 cars at the Nitta city hall annex and other sites, but traffic thickens sharply once the finale ends, so plan the exit as well as the arrival. With stalls open beforehand, dinner can be handled on site before the first shell.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

The show starts at 19:00, so aim to be there by 18:15–18:30. The venue sits away from rail stations, so most visitors come by car — about 15 minutes from the Kita-Kanto Expressway Ota-Yabuzuka IC. Temporary free parking (600 spaces) is available, but allow for the departure traffic jam afterward.

With kids

A children's mikoshi parade starts at 17:00, so kids can enjoy the whole festival. The stadium venue is open but crowded — agree on a meeting spot. At only 30 minutes, the display is easy for young children to see through to the end.

Photography tips

From the stadium stands it is easy to frame the launch point head-on. The shells come fast in a 30-minute window, so set up your camera before the start.

Payment

Viewing is free. Food stalls are set up, so bring extra cash. Parking is free, but the temporary lots are limited in number.
