On July 25, 2026, the '2026 Hiroshima Minato Yume Fireworks Festival' will take place against the beautiful backdrop of Hiroshima's port town. This traditional event has been loved by the people of Hiroshima since 1952, evolving through the years while preserving its historical charm. Currently celebrated as the 'Hiroshima Minato Yume Fireworks Festival,' it features spectacular displays that highlight the unique local character. The massive fireworks blooming in the night sky promise an unforgettable summer memory for all visitors.
The main highlight is the powerful fireworks launched over the Hiroshima seaside. The contrast between the light reflecting on the water and the colors filling the sky is a breathtaking sight. For a more luxurious experience, the festival offers 'Sponsor Seats' (Kyosan-seki). You can choose your preferred viewing style, such as raised platforms (Sajiki-seki), bench seats, or lawn seats, to feel the impact of the fireworks up close. Choosing a reserved seat allows you to enjoy a much more comfortable and premium experience compared to the general viewing areas.
The event will be held on Saturday, July 25, 2026. The exact launch time may vary depending on weather conditions and progress, but the peak excitement is expected from evening through the night. We recommend checking the latest official information closer to the date for the precise start time.
The venue is the area surrounding the Hiroshima port. As specific locations may change based on operational status or weather, please check official information beforehand. While access from central Hiroshima is good, heavy crowds are expected. We highly recommend using public transportation to reach the venue.
This event features a 'Sponsor Seat' system for a premium viewing experience. Various categories are available, including raised platforms, bench seats, lawn seats, folding chairs, and standing areas, with prices varying by type. Please note that applications must be submitted to the secretariat via a specific method (such as a return postcard) within the designated period. There is a limit of one application per person, and seat locations cannot be specified.
As this is an outdoor summer night event, please prepare for the heat and dress comfortably. It is also useful to bring a light outer layer as temperatures may drop at night. If you are using Sponsor Seats, please follow the specific rules for your seat type. Payments and applications must be completed through the designated procedure in advance. Please follow local etiquette and enjoy the beautiful fireworks with those around you.
