How early should I arrive?

The fireworks begin at 8 pm. Arriving 30–45 minutes before the start should still give you a choice of spots, though the grass areas of the park tend to fill first — arriving with time to spare is the safe bet.

There is no parking around the venue, so plan to arrive by public transport. For details such as access from the nearest station, check the official website.

Where can I buy paid seats?

Paid seating is available, and buying in advance is the reliable option. For sales status and how to purchase, check the official website.

Summary

The 6th Kiryu City Fireworks fills Kome Kotohira Park in Kiryu, Gunma, on September 27, 2026, with about 3,000 shells from 8:00 p.m. Though only in its sixth year, the event already runs a full festival setup: paid seating, free viewing zones, and food stalls through the park. With no event parking provided, organizers steer visitors toward rail and town parking — a walk-in, transit-friendly night by design.

Overview

Kiryu's city fireworks festival is a recent creation that behaves like a veteran. The sixth edition, on September 27, 2026, launches roughly 3,000 shells from 8:00 p.m. over Kome Kotohira Park, a green space close to the city center. The format is city-festival standard — paid seating for the core sightlines, free space around it, and food stalls feeding the park — but the program has earned a loyal local following in six years. There is no dedicated event parking; arriving by rail and on foot is the intended pattern, and city-center lots fill early on show night. The festival's official site (kiryuhanabi.com) publishes seat-sale timing and the final schedule — the essential pre-visit read. The 8:00 p.m. start leaves time for dinner in central Kiryu first.

Highlights

A sixth-year festival that runs like a veteran: 3,000 shells, ticketed and free zones.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Arriving 30–45 minutes before the start still leaves you a choice of spots. The venue is a park in the middle of town and the grass areas tend to fill first — there is no parking, so plan to come by public transport.

With kids

The park is dark after nightfall and footing is hard to see, so pick a well-lit spot and keep children within sight. As crowds build it is easy to get separated, so agree on a meeting point beforehand.

Photography tips

Phone and camera photos are fine, but tripods and monopods may be restricted in paid seating — check with staff before setting up. Launch sites sit close to the viewing area, so a wider framing helps keep the whole burst in shot.

Payment

Buy paid seats in advance where possible. Food stalls generally take cash, so carry plenty of small bills and coins.
