Ebisu Summer Festival (Bon Odori & Fireworks Festival) - Enjoy the collaboration of sound and fireworks
Taragi's Ebisu Summer Festival closes its bon-odori gathering with fireworks at the town's multi-purpose sports ground in Kumamoto's Kuma County on Monday, August 17, 2026. From 20:30, roughly 2,000 shells play to a big soundscape for an hour, capped by a 100-meter-wide Niagara curtain. The venue stands right by Taragi Station on the Kumagawa Railway, and a free 500-car lot is provided — with road controls around the site on the day. Follow the Taramuki Town Chamber of Commerce for updates.
In this Kuma valley town, the Ebisu festival's dance circle and its fireworks belong to one evening: the display runs from 20:30 to 21:30, its bursts working with a big soundscape that carries across the basin, with the wide Niagara fall as the final image. Taragi Station sits at the venue's doorstep, a practical choice on a crowded festival night. Drivers come about 35 minutes from Hitoyoshi IC on the Kyushu Expressway via Route 219, using the free 500-space lot and following traffic guidance near the venue. Food stalls operate on site — cash is the convenient way to pay. For schedule details, check announcements from the organizer, the Taramuki Town Chamber of Commerce.
