Flow of the course

About this spot

Held at 8:00 PM on Sunday, August 23, 2026, this is the climax of the Shido Fireworks Festival that colors the summer in Shido, the hometown of Hiraga Gennai (平賀源内). Fireworks launched offshore in Shido Bay (志度湾) color the night sky while reflecting on the calm sea. It's a harbor-town fireworks display beloved by locals, a fitting finale to a day spent visiting a historic temple and a scenic park.

Tips

The event will be canceled in case of severe weather (rain or strong wind), and a revised date will be announced afterward. Check the festival's official Instagram (@shido.hanabi) for whether it will proceed. Stations and roads get crowded after the show ends, so it's a good idea to savor the afterglow before leaving in a staggered fashion.

Best time to visit

Timed to the 8:00 PM launch. A spot with a view of the sea is recommended
