Flow of the course

About this spot

The Kashima Citizens' Summer Fireworks Festival (鹿島市民納涼花火大会) is the fireworks display that caps off the second day of the Kashima Odori (鹿島おどり). In 2026, it's scheduled to launch around 9:20 PM on Saturday, August 8, after the second day of the Kashima Odori ends (the time may shift earlier or later). Held near Hizen-Kashima Station, this is a citizens' summer festival where the excitement of the dance flows directly into cheers for the fireworks, creating an exceptional sense of unity. Fireworks blooming in Kashima's night sky, carried on the sea breeze off the Ariake Sea, envelop spectators in an experience that has become a hallmark of Kashima as this season heads toward the end of summer. The area gets crowded after the finale, so it's best to wait until things settle down before heading home.

Tips

The launch start time depends on how the second day of the Kashima Odori proceeds. Check the latest information from Kashima City's official sources or venue announcements on the day. The area around the station gets very crowded afterward. Check the return train schedule in advance and allow plenty of time. If driving, watch out for full parking lots and traffic restrictions in the area. Some areas underfoot are dark, so make use of your smartphone's flashlight.

Best time to visit

Launch expected around 9:20 PM. It's reassuring to secure your viewing spot 30 minutes before the start
