Approximately 3,000 fireworks from offshore in Miyazu Bay - the co-performance of lantern floating and fireworks

About this spot

The Miyazu Lantern Floating and Fireworks Festival is held alongside the lantern floating ceremony that sends off the spirits of the deceased during Obon, serving as a poetic symbol that marks the end of Miyazu's summer. On Sunday, August 16, 2026, from 7:50 PM to 8:35 PM, approximately 3,000 fireworks will be launched from Miyazu Bay offshore of Shimasaki Park (島崎公園). The sight of countless lanterns floating across the sea's surface with their lights overlapping with fireworks blooming in the night sky carries a special atmosphere unique among seaside fireworks festivals. Enjoying the fireworks alongside the launch sounds reverberating across Miyazu Bay, the scent of the sea breeze, and the sound of waves brings together the grandeur and tranquility unique to a port town surrounded by mountains in the Tango region. The moment when the grand finale fireworks light up Miyazu Bay is the climax of this full day.
