Tsuda Festival — Approximately 600 fireworks beautifully bloom
Tsuda Matsuri fills Tsuda no Matsubara — a pine grove and beach park in Sanuki City, Kagawa — on Saturday, August 22, 2026. Local-group bazaars and stalls open at 16:30, and from 20:00 to 20:30 about 600 shells rise over the calm water, their light doubled on the sea. The venue is a 10-minute walk from JR Sanuki-Tsuda Station and 5 minutes from Tsuda-Sanagawa IC. In case of bad weather, the event moves to the next day, Sunday, August 23.
The festival spreads along the pine-lined shore of Tsuda no Matsubara and its swimming beach. From the 16:30 opening, community bazaars and stalls keep families busy through the evening; when full dark comes, about 600 fireworks launch over the water for half an hour, framed by silhouetted pines — a scene only a beach-side venue offers, with viewing straight from the sand. JR Sanuki-Tsuda Station is 10 minutes on foot; by car, the Tsuda-Sanagawa IC is about 5 minutes away. Free parking is planned but details had not been set, so the train is the reliable choice, with the organizer (Sanuki City Tourism Association) posting the latest guidance. If weather turns, the event shifts to the following day, Sunday, August 23. Stalls take cash, so carry small change.
