Approximately 24,000 Fireworks Illuminate Tokyo Bay's Night Sky—Summer Makuhari's Grand Finale

About this spot

The Makuhari Beach Fireworks Festival, held from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM on Saturday, August 1, 2026, launches approximately 24,000 fireworks from offshore of Makuhari Kaihama Park in Chiba City. Against the wide horizon of Tokyo Bay as a stage, successive bursts of brilliant fireworks unfold with overwhelming scale, and the ribbon of light reflected on the water's surface rippling is also a sight to behold. From the park's lawns, you can see unobstructed night skies, and enjoy the fireworks with the roaring impact reverberating through your body alongside the salty ocean breeze. The approximately 60-minute program concludes with a grand finale bursting across the entire night sky—a scene befitting the climax of a Makuhari summer day.

Tips

Confirm whether the festival proceeds in case of bad weather via the official announcement. Immediately after the show ends, surrounding roads and the station interior become severely congested with people heading to JR Kaihama-Makuhari Station. It is recommended to linger in the park a moment after the finale, then exit at a staggered time to avoid peak congestion. Since the ground becomes dark, use your smartphone light and never leave small children unattended.

Best time to visit

During the 7:30 PM-8:30 PM show time. Securing a viewing spot 20-30 minutes before the start provides peace of mind.
