Summary

The 39th Shinshu Ueda Fireworks Festival lights up the Chikuma River riverbed in Ueda City, Nagano on August 29, 2026, marking the 130th anniversary of the Ueda Chamber of Commerce and Industry. About 8,000 shells launch over 90 minutes from 7:00 pm, led by starmine and music-synced sequences.

Overview

Shinshu Ueda Fireworks Festival runs 7:00-8:30 pm on August 29, 2026 along the Chikuma River riverbed in Tsunoda, Ueda City. Its 39th edition doubles as a celebration of the Ueda Chamber of Commerce and Industry's 130th anniversary. The program is built around starmine bursts and music-synchronized sequences, with the riverside setting keeping launch sites close to viewers. Paid seating is available, food stalls line the area, and Ueda Station — served by the Hokuriku Shinkansen — is just five minutes on foot. With no parking at the venue, arriving by train and about an hour early is the sensible plan.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Aim to arrive about an hour before the start — entrances and the riverside walkways get crowded. There is no parking, so plan to come by train.

With kids

Pick a spot well back from the water's edge and keep children within sight. With large crowds 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 first. Including the river's reflection in the frame records the lingering glow of each bloom.

Payment

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