Kirakira Matsuda Festa

Event Overview

The event is an annual event in which Nishi-Hirahata Park at Mt. Matsuda will be colored with illuminations of about 180,000 balls. This fiscal year, which celebrated its 22nd in 2024, illuminations are mainly decorated on the cherry blossom walking road, which is full of early blooming cherry blossoms in February. At the event venue, we expanded the food and beverage, goods sales, and rest areas, and devised to slowly enjoy the collaboration between illumination and night view. In addition, at the time of the event, the night service of the hometown railway is carried out. You can enjoy a different railway journey from the daytime.
