Watch approximately 7,000 fireworks light up the night sky over Hakata Bay from the spring seaside

About this spot

The Fukuoka Higashi Ward Fireworks Festival will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Kashii Hama and Mishima Green Bay Walk (御島グリーンベイウォーク) in Hakata Bay. Approximately 7,000 fireworks will launch successively into the night sky above Hakata Bay, their light casting glowing bands across the water's surface and painting the spring night sky. Amid the soft, gentle night air of a spring fireworks festival, cheers erupt with each blooming flower of light. The open waterfront location provides an expansive view, and the boom of launching fireworks resonates across the horizon—an exhilarating experience. The grand finale bursts illuminate sea and sky simultaneously, a climax befitting this full day's adventure.

Tips

Check the official festival announcement for confirmation of whether the event will be held in case of bad weather. After the show ends, the venue and nearby stations become extremely crowded; it's recommended to linger by the water for a while after the finale before heading home at a staggered time. Check bus and train departure times in advance. Some areas are poorly lit, so your smartphone's flashlight will be helpful.

Best time to visit

Scheduled for 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. It's reassuring to be seated at your viewing location 30 minutes before the start.
