Toyota Oiden Festival Fireworks 2026 Confirmed

豊田おいでんまつり花火大会 — Toyota, Aichi (Tokai)

The Toyota Oiden Festival fireworks close the city's summer dance festival with about 13,000 shells over the Yahagi River — the Tokai region's biggest show, known for melody fireworks synchronized to music, a 'Niagara' waterfall spanning the river, and wide starmines launched from both banks at once.

Background

The Oiden Festival (named for the local dialect's 'come on over') began in 1968 as Toyota City's civic festival, with the fireworks night as its finale growing into the region's flagship.

Getting there

The venue is Hakuhama Park on the Yahagi River, about 10–15 minutes on foot from Toyotashi Station (Meitetsu Mikawa Line) — roughly an hour from Nagoya with a transfer at Chiryu.

Tips

• The last Sunday of July is a fixed slot — the night before features the dance festival, so a weekend stay covers both.
• Both banks host seating; the west (station) side sells out first, and the east side offers same-quality views with less crush.
• Meitetsu runs extra trains but the Mikawa Line is small — expect 40–60 minute boarding queues after the finale.
• Melody starmine blocks are spread through the program, with the biggest reserved for last — plan your exit after, not before, the finale.
