About 6,000 fireworks illuminate the night sky over Ise Bay

About this spot

The climax of the 2026 summer Ooyodo Gion Festival and Fireworks Show in Meiwa Town on July 25 (Saturday). From 7:30 PM to around 9:30 PM, approximately 6,000 fireworks burst across the night sky facing Ise Bay. The open view of this seaside venue allows you to enjoy the grand fireworks unobstructed and in a spacious setting. True to a Gion Festival fireworks show, the celebration has a warm, community-rooted atmosphere for its finale. It's a fitting end to a day that began with a leisurely stroll through Saigū's history—a summer night's gift to remember.

Tips

In case of bad weather, the event may be cancelled or postponed, so confirm the day's schedule with Meiwa Town's official announcement. After the show, surrounding roads and parking areas will be crowded, so it's best to enjoy the afterglow before heading home. It's dark underfoot, so having a smartphone light handy is reassuring.

Best time to visit

7:30 PM to around 9:30 PM during the show. Secure your spot 30 minutes before it starts.
