Summary
The 59th Sanuki Takamatsu Matsuri Fireworks light up the waterfront around Sunport Takamatsu and the Suiki-dori avenue in Takamatsu City, Kagawa, on August 13, 2026 — the middle day of the three-day festival. Some 6,000 fireworks in about 30 minutes color both the night sky and the harbor surface; last year drew roughly 100,000. JR Takamatsu Station and Kotoden Takamatsu-Chikko Station are each a 4-minute walk. The start time is unconfirmed — check the official site — and paid seating plus food stalls are on hand.
Overview
Takamatsu's biggest summer event pairs the fireworks with the festival's other programming, including the so-odori mass dance, so plan the day around both. The viewing area spreads across the port-front district within a few minutes' walk of two stations, which makes arriving by train the practical choice; traffic restrictions apply around the venue on the day, and although free temporary parking is available, public transport is the recommended route. The start time had not been fixed in the published schedule, so confirm it on the official website before planning your evening.
