The Climax of Summer in Iyo City - Approximately 10,000 Fireworks Light Up Iyo Bay

About this spot

The Iyo Irodori Matsuri Fireworks Festival is the region's largest fireworks festival, launched each summer from Iyo Port Breakwater. Approximately 10,000 fireworks burst into the night sky above Iyo Bay one after another, creating a fantastical scene as their light reflects on the sea. The breakwater's position facing the port offers an expansive view with no obstructions, allowing you to enjoy the grand fireworks display from the front—the festival's greatest appeal. The resonance of the launch sound with the sea breeze, the reflection of fireworks trembling on the water's surface, and the finale's rapid succession wrapping the night sky and sea together create a special evening unique to summer in Iyo City.
