Approximately 10,000 fireworks bursting in the night sky over Aomori Harbor, with light competing in reflection on the harbor waters

About this spot

The Aomori Fireworks Festival is held from 7:15 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, August 7, 2026, at Aoiumi Park and New Central Wharf in Aomori Harbor. Boasting approximately 10,000 fireworks launches, the successive brilliant blooms opening in the wide night sky over the harbor are truly spectacular. Light reflections mirroring onto the sea surface further enhance the fireworks' beauty, with the harbor ambiance—enjoyed alongside wave sounds—offering a unique waterside charm. As a major event closing Aomori's short summer night, the fireworks festival has long been cherished by both local residents and visitors from outside the prefecture. The moment when the finale's rapid-fire bursts fill the night sky becomes the ultimate climax of this entire day.

Since it's approximately 10 minutes on foot to Aomori Station, check train schedules in advance.
