Oyama Fireworks

Autumn
Events

The Oyama Fireworks Festival, a beloved summer tradition in Oyama City, attracts a large number of visitors each year and is considered one of the largest fireworks events in the Kanto region.

The launch site is located very close to the audience, allowing spectators to fully experience the intensity of the show. With over 20,000 fireworks—including large-scale displays, rapid-fire sequences, and waterfall-style fireworks—the event offers a truly breathtaking spectacle. The venue is just an 8-minute walk from JR Oyama Station on the Utsunomiya Line, making it highly convenient to access by train.

Starting in 2025, to reduce the health risks posed by extreme summer heat and the potential for heavy seasonal rainfall, the festival will be rescheduled to autumn. While the 2025 event will be held on September 23, from 2026 onward it will take place on the first Saturday of October each year.

We invite everyone to visit “Oyama: A City of Rural Harmony” and enjoy the dazzling fireworks show beneath the crisp autumn sky.
