Fireworks Launch After Kashima Odori's Second Day Concludes - View the Blossoms Spreading Across the Night Sky

About this spot

The Kashima Citizens' Cool Evening Fireworks Festival is a fireworks festival that crowns the finale of Kashima Odori's second day. In 2026, it is scheduled to launch around 9:20 PM on August 8 (Saturday), after Kashima Odori's second day concludes (timing may vary). Held near Hizen-Kashima Station as a citizens' summer festival, the seamless transition from the heat of the odori dancing into the cheers at the fireworks creates an extraordinary sense of unity. The fireworks blooming in Kashima's night sky, enveloped by the sea breeze of the Ariake Sea, become a seasonal symbol unique to this time of year as summer draws to a close in Kashima. After the finale, the area becomes very crowded, so it's best to leave at a leisurely pace.
