About 3,000 Fireworks and the Grand Finale, Seeing Off Summer on a Friday Night

About this spot

Held on August 28, 2026 (Friday), this Shonan fireworks festival adorns the last Friday of August. Approximately 3,000 fireworks launched from the mouth of the Sagami River are distinctively characterized by their proximity to the viewing area—the sound reverberates through your body. The rapid succession of starburst effects culminating in the grand finale of large chrysanthemum bursts filling the night sky make you truly feel the end of summer. Experience the special appeal of a local fireworks festival with an unhurried viewing experience, quite different from the large-scale events held in urban centers.
