Hikari Fireworks Festival (around Nijigahama Beach) (光花火大会(虹ヶ浜海水浴場一帯))

Flow of the course

About this spot

The Hikari Fireworks Festival (光花火大会) launches from around Nijigahama Beach (虹ヶ浜海水浴場) for 45 minutes starting at 8:00 PM on Saturday, July 25, 2026. About 3,000 fireworks bloom one after another in the calm night sky over the Suo Sea (周防灘), and combined with the quiet sound of the waves, they create an atmosphere unique to a seaside fireworks festival. Thanks to the prime location of the white-sand beach, being able to look straight up at the fireworks with nothing blocking the view is one of this festival's biggest draws. The barrage that gradually builds toward the finale delivers a powerful impact that resonates through your body along with the sand of the beach and the sound of the waves. Enjoy this special summer night in Hikari City with your family, as the blue sea you saw in the daytime is dyed with the colors of fireworks after dark.

Tips

Be sure to check with Hikari City or the festival's official announcements regarding whether the event will proceed in bad weather. Right after the event ends, surrounding roads and parking lots get crowded all at once. We recommend enjoying the afterglow on the beach for a while after the finale before heading out with a time lag. It's dark underfoot, so a smartphone light or small flashlight will help you get home safely. Check the times of the return trains and buses in advance.

Best time to visit

Timed to the 8:00-8:45 PM event. Being seated 30 minutes before the start lets you enjoy it in a relaxed way
