The annual Ocean Expo Park Fireworks Festival on Sat., July 13, is a major summer event held as part of the Ocean Expo Park Summer Festival 2024, now for the 46th time.

The festival features one of the largest pyrotechnics shows in the prefecture. 10,000 fireworks are shot up over the Expo Park accompanied by music, and special effects for a highly artistic display. Many of the pyrotechnics are specifically made for the occasion, and particular attention is paid to special effects and the launching sequence.

Thousands of people attend this popular event, jamming the roads to the Ocean Expo Park, so it is recommended that you come early.

The best location to see the fireworks is the Emerald Beach area, where seats must be reserved and paid for in advance! They are available now and sell out quick, so immediate action is advised. The tickets can be purchased at
