Approximately 3,000 fireworks light Shizugawa Bay's night sky, concluding Sanriku's summer with the ocean breeze
About this spot
The finale of Minamisanriku Town Shizugawa Bay Summer Festival Fireworks Grand Festival runs from 7:45 PM to 8:30 PM on Saturday, July 25, 2026, launching approximately 3,000 fireworks from the Shizugawa Temporary Fish Market venue. The ria coast's topography echoes sound, and the bay's quiet water surface reflects the fireworks—a Sanriku-unique fireworks experience unfolds. The summer festival of Minamisanriku, continuing its recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake, is also a meaningful milestone event for local people. Those 45 minutes watching grand blooms burst skyward with family in the night breeze carrying sea salt form this day's irreplaceable climax.
