Nagasaki Minato Matsuri Fireworks Festival

The "Nagasaki Minato Matsuri Fireworks Festival" (ながさきみなとまつり 花火大会), a major event that colors Nagasaki's summer, will be grandly held again in 2026, set against the backdrop of Nagasaki Port (長崎港). Approximately 10,000 fireworks launched against Nagasaki's beautiful nightscape, combined with the unique location of a port city, are sure to captivate visitors. With a rich program of stage events and food stalls, this quintessential summer tradition in Nagasaki offers a full day of enjoyment for everyone, from children to adults.

Event Overview

Held annually on the last Saturday and Sunday of July, this two-day festival aims to re-recognize the splendor of Nagasaki's sea and port. Fireworks illuminate the night sky on both days, with the collaboration of Nagasaki's "World's New Three Great Night Views" (世界新三大夜景) being particularly breathtaking.
