About this spot

Held on Thursday, August 13, 2026, these are the fireworks of the Hometown Summer Festival that close out summer in Shikamachi Town. About 1,200 fireworks shells launch into the night sky over the area around Shikamachi Fishing Port (Shimo-Utagaura area), enjoyed amid the warm atmosphere of a summer festival where local residents gather. The scale isn't large, but watching the fireworks along with the calls of the local crowd should make for a special memory of your trip.

Tips

In case of severe weather, the event may be canceled or postponed, so check Sasebo City's official announcement on the day. The roads around the venue get congested after the show ends, so staggering your departure time is recommended. It gets dark underfoot, so having your phone's flashlight ready is reassuring.
