About this spot

Held on Sunday, August 23, 2026, this is a summer tradition in Nagayo Town (長与町), now in its 46th year. About 1,000 fireworks light up the night sky around Nagayo Town Sogo Park Fureai Plaza (長与町総合公園ふれあい広場), drawing many families from around Nagasaki. In the calm night breeze unique to this town overlooking Omura Bay (大村湾), watching the fireworks alongside locals makes for a memorable summer moment.

Tips

In case of rain, only the fireworks will be postponed to the following day, Monday, August 24, so check Nagayo Town's official announcement on the day for whether it will proceed. Roads around the venue get congested after the event ends, so leaving at a staggered time is recommended. It gets dark underfoot, so having your phone's light ready is reassuring.
