Oma Fireworks Festival (Former Ferry Pier, Oma Port)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A fireworks festival held from 7:30 p.m. on Friday, August 14, 2026, at the former ferry pier at Oma Port. Fireworks rise one after another into the night sky over the Tsugaru Strait, and the sight of bands of light spreading across the strait's vast water surface has a scale unique to the port town of Oma. In the clear air typical of a northern summer, the sound carries far, and the boom of each launch overlapping with the sound of the waves resonates deep in your chest. As a local tradition marking the close of summer in this fishing town at Honshu's northernmost tip, watching the full 30-minute program to the end leaves Oma's summer memories etched in your heart.

Tips

Check Oma Town's official announcements for whether the show will proceed in bad weather. After it ends, the main street gets crowded as viewers move all at once. Rather than rushing, it's smoother to spend a little time in the area after the fireworks end before heading home. Some parts of the way home are dark underfoot, so make use of your smartphone light or a small flashlight.
