About this spot

This fireworks display closes out the first night of the 54th Apoi Fire Festival, held Saturday, August 1 and Sunday, August 2, 2026. Starting at 8 p.m., fireworks launch one after another into the night sky over this nature-rich town surrounded by Mt. Apoi and the sea. No official number of shells has been confirmed, but watching the fireworks amid the seaside quiet has a charm quite different from a fireworks display in the city. Enjoy this moment that closes out a summer memory in Samani, along with the town's simple harbor-town atmosphere.

Tips

In case of bad weather, check the organizer's announcement for whether the event will go ahead. The festival is free to enter (some hands-on events have a fee). Temperatures tend to drop at night, so remember something to wear over your clothes. Parking space is limited around the venue, so an early arrival is recommended.
